Mr. Speaker, I would first simply say that I cannot comment on a specific case, namely the case just mentioned or on any other case.
Second, there is a basic principle, which is a cornerstone of the legislation on taxation, and that is confidentiality.
Third, I am told at the agency that we have co-operated in the past, that we are currently co-operating and that we will continue to co-operate with the RCMP for all sorts of investigations.
Fourth, the matter of confidentiality is not a discretionary one, it is fundamental.
