Mr. Speaker, I am rising today to table a petition spearheaded by a constituent of mine, aimed at bringing tax fairness to our indigenous partners.
The petition calls on the government to simply rectify an overlooked error in the current tax filing regime that results in the comparative overrepresentation of tax reassessment claims of indigenous Canadians by updating and modernizing the T4RIF, the T4RSP and the T4A(P) tax slips; update CRA contribution tracking methods; ensure efficient handling of tax-exempt returns, including those of indigenous Canadians; and implement a team of first nations tax specialists within the CRA.
