The answers you've provided are acceptable to me.
You mentioned that the Canada Revenue Agency has 40,000 employees. It is the largest department in the federal government. The agency therefore has the necessary expertise to determine the possibilities of recovering funds. Year after year, it can determine the amount of money that can be collected, compared to the amount that must be written off.
I'll come back to debt write-offs. This is something I consider important because it represents $3.2 billion. Of course, you are the largest department. That said, the debt write-off for all departments, year after year, amounts to $4 billion.
The debts contracted represent a lot of money. What I want to know, basically, is whether the Canada Revenue Agency, based on the acts and regulations that govern it, is doing enough to recover the debts incurred and to recover as much as possible.
Mr. Chair, perhaps the agency's representatives can answer.
