Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the member has so much bias against the CRA. The CRA, if we do a comparison, is probably in the top two or three revenue agencies in the world given the fine work that civil servants do within the CRA.
The member took great lengths to be critical of the CRA's program to enable automatic tax filing. Nothing would prevent an individual from filing their own taxes. What the member fails to recognize is that there are literally thousands of individuals who would benefit by having the CRA do this. There are literally hundreds of people in Canada who try to encourage others to file. Allowing this to take place is a great benefit to communities.
