Madam Speaker, section 241 of the Income Tax Act states:
(1) Except as authorized by this section, no official shall
(a) knowingly provide, or knowingly allow to be provided, to any person any taxpayer information;
(b) knowingly allow any person to have access to any taxpayer information; or
(c) knowingly use any taxpayer information otherwise than in the course of the administration or enforcement of this act, the Canada Pension Plan, the Unemployment Insurance Act or the Employment Insurance Act or for the purpose for which it was provided under this section.
(2) Notwithstanding any other act of Parliament or other law, no official shall be required, in connection with any legal proceedings, to give or produce evidence relating to any taxpayer information.
The documents regarding Tax Court of Canada file No. 98-2497(IT)G were obtained for the purpose of the administration of the Income Tax Act, and as such, are considered exempt from production pursuant to Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms sixth edition, citation 446(2)(k) thereof:
446(2) The following criteria are to be applied in determining if the government papers or document should be exempt from production:
(k) Papers that are excluded from disclosure by statute.
Therefore, Madam Speaker, I think you would find agreement from the Minister of Labour to have this matter transferred for debate.
