Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, in December 2012, the Department of Finance refused to give the Parliamentary Budget Officer access to that information to calculate that figure himself. Will the minister reverse the decision and share the data, as the PBO has asked?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I asked whether the minister would reverse a decision by his department to give the Parliamentary Budget Office what it wanted to measure the impact, and apparently the answer is, I do not know. Because money from a TFSA does not count as income for the purposes of OA

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, the answer to the question is that it will reach an extra $4.2 billion a year, according to the chief actuary. Has the minister considered capping the total lifetime contributions an individual could make to TFSAs?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, how much will the Conservative cuts to old age security cost Canadian seniors by 2030, given the increase in the eligibility age from 65 to 67?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, either the minister cannot say or will not say, but the answer, according to Statistics Canada, is that Canadian money stashed in 10 offshore tax havens hit $170 billion last year. What is the estimated total amount of Canadian tax revenue lost to offshore tax havens

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, the number, of course, is between $5 billion and $7.8 billion lost annually. Will the minister follow through on the 2011 platform commitment to double the annual TFSA contribution room in the next budget?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, that was a 2011 platform commitment. The Auditor General noted in 2012 that Finance Canada has projected the mushrooming fiscal impact of TFSAs out to the year 2050. What is the projected cost to 2050?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I would like to ask the Minister of Finance, what is the estimated total annual revenue lost to the underground economy?

Privacy  Mr. Speaker, a most troubling clause is buried in the omnibus budget implementation bill. This clause allows the Canada Revenue Agency to forward, secretly and without a warrant, Canadians' tax information to the police. If the government believes that Canadians' personal inform
