Finance committee  You don't know whether the agency made any recommendations about the review, what should be done, whether it should be cancelled or whether it was something that should be proceeded with. Have you no idea what took place with that review or what the results were?

Finance committee  There was a review conducted and it was cancelled, but the agency has no idea what took place or what recommendations were made. You have nothing to say about it at all.

Finance committee  I guess it's really unfortunate that the minister chose not to stay for longer than half an hour because, apparently, she would be the one who could address this. Here she is not being accountable. It's another example of why this is a problem. You can't tell us anything about this.

Finance committee  I have done that a number of times, but I don't get any answers there either, Mr. Chair.

Finance committee  I would sure appreciate that, if you could. Sorry to interrupt, but if you could, that would be great. If you could provide any information that you can about this review and what took place and what recommendations were given by the agency as a result, to the committee through the clerk, that would be appreciated.

Finance committee  We've already heard from the Auditor General's report about this very different take that there has been towards different types of taxpayers, from your everyday regular Joe taxpayer to someone with a big offshore account. Given that there are very wide differences in how they are being treated by Revenue Canada, I want to raise an example that I've raised with your minister and with you before.

Finance committee  Let me interrupt you there. I get what you're saying, that you have to ensure that the law is being complied with. This is something that was identified a number of years ago as being a problem. This was affecting businesses it shouldn't be affecting. That's why, in the 2015 budget, our previous Conservative government put in place a review of these rules to try to determine how this could be improved so that businesses like campgrounds, self-storage facilities and those that shouldn't be affected by it were no longer being affected by it.

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, I sense that there is probably some desire to try to get a little time to consider this, or whatever. Because we do have bells, I would certainly allow us to have the vote first thing when we come back. We could suspend for the vote and then have the vote as soon as we get back.

Finance committee  What I'm saying, Mr. Chair, is that I don't want to table the motion. I want the vote to be the next thing that occurs. If we wanted to suspend for the votes, that would give the members, if that's what they're seeking, some time to consider it. Then we could come back after the vote and deal with it immediately and then move on.

Finance committee  Okay. If that's not the case, I do want the motion to—

Finance committee  I misunderstood what the intention was, I guess.

Finance committee  We want a recorded vote.

Finance committee  It's to complete their report and present it to the House of Commons by December 13.

Finance committee  I know we have a time situation. I'll speak very briefly to it. This was raised at HUMA. There was—

Finance committee  I'll keep it very brief, I promise.
