There is indeed some difficulty in recruiting and retaining staff. Those who have expertise in international tax auditing are highly prized, by companies or advisors, law firms and accounting firms. It really is specialized expertise. They are in very high demand in areas like Toronto, and I presume the situation is probably the same in Calgary. There are offices which hire people who have expertise and have been at the agency for a number of years. We should make better use of their services for more complex and higher-risk files.
