I understand. Did the government break the law previously when it made those disclosures?
You don't have to answer that; that's fine. However, if you're open to it, I would love to see the legal opinion on which the change in policy was based. We're here today primarily because of that legal opinion, because Parliament has not been able to get that information. I think it is in the public interest to disclose that information.
Here's my next question: Are you able to provide an amount in total that has been written off as a result of carousel schemes? These are the GST schemes that are frauds perpetrated on the CRA. There were a number of articles about these a few years ago. The rumours are that the CRA has been defrauded of hundreds of millions of dollars in total. Do you have a ballpark figure that you can share with the committee?
