Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you to the witnesses for appearing today.
From my point of view, the thing that jumped off the page was the large backlog of proposed technical amendments. It's been almost ten years since the department got some technical amendments passed, so I don't really understand why that evolved. But it's nice that it's been recognized and it's nice that there's a good relationship between CRA and the finance department. That's wonderful, but I'm not sure anybody's listening. It's a good relationship: CRA talks, the finance department listens, but doesn't do anything.
I'm very surprised that one of the solutions is to go out and develop a new database. When I was in high school I used to go out and get some new paper and get a new binder and make lists and stuff like that. So keep your receipts and don't go over budget.
I'm going to ask a question of the finance department or perhaps of one of the individuals who accompanied Mr. Horgan. Have you ever heard of the Miscellaneous Statute Law Amendment Act?
