Madam Speaker, I have two questions for my hon. colleague.
First of all he mentioned the streamlining of this agency. It seems as though the provinces are not onboard with this super agency which he referred to therefore reducing the probability that there will be cost savings if there are in fact to be two agencies collecting taxes.
The hon. member also mentioned the handling of highly confidential information. I am wondering if the member can explain how the current system is able to give information. In a case that was mentioned in a speech earlier today by my hon. colleague, information from a person within his own province of Manitoba was given to an insurance agency. It was highly confidential information and ended up in the wrong hands.
How is it that this super agency with unlimited power can ensure that there is going to be any confidentiality? What specifics in this bill point to the fact that Canadians can be assured that information regarding their taxes will not be shared with others who are not privy to that information? How can that be so?
