Madam Speaker, I have the honour to table in this House the eighth and ninth reports of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
In its eighth report, the Standing Committee on Public Accounts reviews Chapter 29, "Collecting Income Tax Debts"; Chapter 30, "Goods and Services Tax: Audit and Special Investigations"; and Chapter 31, "Ensuring Fairness of the Income Tax System: Detection of Non-Filers and Special Investigations", from the 1994 report of the auditor general.
In its eighth report the committee makes a series of recommendations concerning these chapters.
In its ninth report the committee reviews two other chapters from the 1994 report of the auditor general of Canada, which concern the Department of Finance and Revenue Canada, namely Chapter 32, "Income Tax Incentives for Research and Development", and Chapter 33, "Tax Assistance for Retirement Savings". Following the review of the last three chapters, the committee formulates another series of recommendations.
Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee asks the government to table a comprehensive response to these reports.
