Mr. Chair, we note that the tax debt has increased significantly between 2006 and 2012. We do illustrate that there have been some changes in the tax base—for example, in the collection of HST and some of that type of thing—which accounts for some of that. But fundamentally, there really isn't enough information in the public domain to know whether the $29 billion in tax debt is an appropriate level at this point. We did point out that there were still some weaknesses in the performance information the agency produces. We think there's room for improvement in that area.
