Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here today.
My question is for Ms. Hogan, the Auditor General of Canada.
The findings of the audit you tabled in May 2019 are quite straightforward. You showed very clearly that the government is losing an enormous amount of revenue as a result of lax policy. I won't engage you on that subject.
That loss of revenue amounted to nearly $169 million in 2017 and was estimated at close to $247 million in 2019. That's nearly a 50% increase in two years, without even taking the pandemic or exploding e-commerce into account.
Do you think it would be helpful to conduct a thorough review of the existing tax system?
