Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To answer the member's question, yes, the CRA has identified which projects constitute that large sum of investment required to ensure sustainability. It breaks down largely between the information slip reporting system, at $180 million; the individual tax system, at least $215 million, most likely more; the T3 trust system, $120 million to build a system; and the benefits system, a minimum of $60 million.
All these investments are made to assure sustainability. We've never suggested that we would undertake all these projects at one time. Our tendency has been, as evidenced through the previous re-engineering projects we've done, to take on a project and execute over three to five years, starting the next project a year or so before the one we're working on ends.
This isn't a five-year problem for us, it's a 20-year problem for us, especially with regard to the T1 system. Individual taxes represent an enormous system.
