Thank you, Madam Chair.
I will start by putting my questions to the officials from the Canada Revenue Agency.
I was quite surprised to read this, in paragraph 8 of the brief from the Office of the Auditor General:
We also found that the Canada Revenue Agency did not have the tools it needed to maximize recovery once borrowers defaulted and student loans were transferred to the agency for collection. For example, the agency was using Employment and Social Development Canada’s information system, which made it impossible for the agency to know exactly how much money was recovered by its own different activities and collection methods.
Was there communication between Employment and Social Development Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency?
