Mr. Speaker, if what the hon. minister stated is correct, all of the ministers and all of the provinces would have signed in by now.
The government claims that the new tax agency will improve administrative efficiency at Revenue Canada. Revenue Canada comprises one-quarter of the entire public service. If there is an efficiency problem with one-quarter of the public service, then there is a problem with the entire structure of government and the entire public service.
Is this the government's piecemeal solution to that larger problem, carving off the government agency by agency?
