Mr. Speaker, first, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency is being questioned, so I would like to respond.
I have already explained it a number of times in the House. A keystone of the Income Tax Act is confidentiality, which is highly protected.
Within the department, when information is shared with other departments, other agencies, I am told, it is done very strictly according to the law. It is also shared when the person involved gives his or her consent.
I would also point out that, when people fail to honour a commitment, namely the law, penalties are provided under the Income Tax Act.
