Mr. Speaker, I would like to wake up the Minister of National Revenue if I can and ask him a question.
Internal reports from his department say that about $2 billion in tax revenue will be lost in this fiscal year because of a shortage of auditors, a problem that was pointed out by the auditor general just recently. This money could be spent on health and education.
What action does the minister plan to collect this $2 billion, or is he just going to throw up his hands and say hey, what's $2 billion?
