Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I won't be here for very long.
I was asking myself the same kind of question concerning the 20-year retention period. How can we ask a business to keep records for such a long period of time given the way technologies evolve?
I had a technology-related problem. Even the hard disks that you buy in the stores only last 20 years. I'd like to know if we would be imposing penalties on people who could not keep these records as a result of equipment breakdowns or other similar problems. How can small businesses in particular manage this kind of request to store records a for 20 years when the technology can't preserve them for that length of time.
