Thank you.
I will be a little more specific, Mr. Duclos.
For several weeks, I have been receiving hundreds of emails—as you probably have too—about the fact that the Treasury Board Secretariat, the TBS, is refusing to provide the guidelines that the Canada Revenue Agency needs in order not to tax the employees' compensation. We have already discussed this.
At our meeting on Monday, Mr. Aylward, the National President of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, stated that his union and the TBS had come to an agreement on a statement of facts to be sent to the Canada Revenue Agency, but that TBS had not signed off on that statement.
What is holding the TBS back from signing the statement of facts that describes the compensation as not part of a salary and therefore not taxable?
