Mr. Speaker, the amounts the member refers to are in active collection. These are the facts.
The amount recorded is for cases that are still before the courts, which means these amounts are verifiable and recoverable.
Collection action is a process. Once these cases move through the courts, further collection tools available to the CRA will be pursued.
Last year alone, we resolved over $46 billion in outstanding taxes. We continue to aggressively pursue tax cheats.
