Finance committee  That's correct.

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, that would be me. Essentially, with regard to the disability tax credit, there are two proposed measures. One is to clarify the criteria applicable to qualify with regard to the mental functions necessary for everyday life—and really, that's to make it clearer under w

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, perhaps I can take that one.

Finance committee  It's correct that there are provisions relating to rent paid to related parties. In terms of the specific question, perhaps I could look into that and get back in writing to the committee or come back to it in a subsequent meeting on the bill. I apologize that I don't have a sp

Finance committee  My response to that, Mr. Chair, would be that the CRA, of course, administers the Canada emergency wage subsidy. The CRA has programs in place to ensure that the provisions and the requirements, by law, to obtain the wage subsidy are respected in the making of claims, so the CRA

Finance committee  With respect to the first question, I think it's important to understand what the proposed digital services tax is about and what it's not about. It's not about taxing consumption in Canada. As you know, Bill C-30 includes measures to require the collection of GST by non-resident

Public Accounts committee  I can't really add anything to Mr. Hamilton's answer.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. We provided all of the documents that are relevant to the Auditor General. Those documents included cabinet confidences.

Public Accounts committee  Madam Chair, we reviewed the documents. We ensured that they were appropriately reviewed and we determined that the classifications were appropriate to them. Ultimately, it was our assessment that those documents were cabinet confidences.

Public Accounts committee  Madam Chair, I'm sure the committee will appreciate that in designing these programs and in designing this one particularly quickly, we were looking at a balance of issues in terms of the speed with which the program can respond—which was particularly important in this case—and t

Public Accounts committee  I'll make a couple of observations on that point. Of course, with a program of general application, you have to have rules that will apply simply across the economy, and it's very difficult to accommodate every circumstance. That said, a number of adjustments were made to the p

Public Accounts committee  We consulted broadly with a number of groups and associations representing both large and small businesses, as well as with individual associations and businesses in general.
