Madam Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for his remarks, although I know that he did not really answer the questions that I raised. Therefore, I want to provide him with another opportunity to enlighten the House as to how many overpayments were reported by the January 19 deadline, and to give us some sense as to whether or not they are being processed successfully.
I would also like to raise the possibility of a remission order to ensure that federal public servants do not have to pay income tax on Phoenix overpayments. If the government is confident that the system will work as smoothly as the parliamentary secretary suggests and that public servants will not be on the hook, then surely it should be willing to issue this remission order to make sure that is the case.
