Yes, it's me again, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
I just want to make a couple of comments and ask a couple of questions to Mr. Sorbara.
First, regarding his comments about his concern about expanding the scope of the CRA, to me these amendments would further expand the scope of the CRA by having them ask additional questions rather than just the basics. The tombstone data such as your name and your contact information are all that is required by the provinces. It's just the contact information of tax filers who are interested in registering in their provincial organ donor registries. That's it. You don't need a whole form for that. You need a tick box for the tax filer to just indicate that, and the CRA will then transfer your name and your contact information. That's all they require. Of course, that's when the provinces will go forward with their forms in order to complete the process of registering the individual who would like to be registered.
I want to talk about consultation. I know, Mr. Sorbara, you have consulted with the CRA. I've consulted with the CRA as well, but not only them. I've contacted the Trillium Gift of Life Network, Canadian Blood Services, the Kidney Foundation and the Canadian Transplant Association. These organizations want it front and centre. They made it clear, and that's who we should be listening to: Canadians.
My question for Mr. Sorbara is this. Do you believe these amendments would strengthen the effectiveness of the bill and better improve the outcomes for those awaiting a life-saving transplant? I'd like to get your answer on that. Thank you.
