Mr. Speaker, I would like to make a point to my hon. friend.
About a year ago I received a letter from a constituent of mine which has to do with the complications in the income tax form. I am going to quote from it. Dalton Fisher states:
I have just added up my expenses and my income and find that I cannot afford to hire a tax consultant to do my taxes so therefore I have provided a sheet of paper complete with all my income and expenses and I have filled out my tax form to the best of my ability. I therefore submit the same for your audit. Or for your acceptance.
I would like at this time to submit that if the tax form were made simpler then most people would gladly fill out their entire form and make life simpler for the tax department and for the average taxpayer.
I think he has a good point. I would like my friend to comment on that.
