Mr. Speaker, consideration will be given to taxpayers who are unable to comply with their filing requirements because of this service interruption.
As I have said before in this House, the security of taxpayer information is a CRA priority. The Heartbleed bug is an issue affecting international web applications worldwide. We are taking all necessary measures to protect taxpayer information, including precautionary measures.
The member opposite should recognize that this was a sound management decision taken to help taxpayers, in their best interests.
