Finance committee  Thank you for the question. I am not aware that we were approached with that information.

Finance committee  Just a precision, as the CFO, I'm not necessarily involved in some of the criminal investigations.

Finance committee  Thank you for the question. I believe that this was included in the information we shared in writing earlier with the committee. For the measures that are included in Bill C-2, at this point the preliminary estimate of the whole cost to administer these programs is $184 million

Finance committee  Again, in the same exercise, in terms of the measures that are proposed in Bill C-2, we think that at peak times—we increase and level off—we would need 650 full-time equivalents to administer these programs.

Finance committee  I do not have that information, but perhaps my colleague Mr. Lemieux can.... We've already indicated, I think, that the programs and our verification processes are in progress. In some instances they have not started, so we don't have the full picture.

Finance committee  Okay. Great. As I said, we've definitely continued to learn throughout the process. We increased the capacity in the teams. We created a new team to coordinate all of the efforts so that we could share information as well and make the linkages between all of the behaviours we're

Finance committee  Yes. Let me see. I believe it is $3.780 million for the fiscal year.

Finance committee  I'll take that question, Mr. Chair. Often the main estimates do not reflect the amounts that—

Finance committee  The main estimates amounts often do not reflect the amounts that are voted in prior years, either to the main estimates or the supplementary estimates, then not spent and available for spending in the following year. That spending really reflects, I believe, the amounts that are

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, I'll start, and if Mr. Trueman can offer.... We're responsible for collecting the revenues and for paying the climate action incentive. We will produce, at the end of the fiscal year, which we're working on right now, a statement that will show the fuel charges that w

Finance committee  We do have some outreach activities. We also have a community volunteer program across the country to help a number of low-income taxpayers complete their tax returns and get access to the benefits they are often owed. I wonder if Mr. Vermaeten can offer more information.

Finance committee  These are the investments we do and the many systems we have in the agency to deliver the tax programs. One of those systems is the program benefit system. That is currently operating in an aged infrastructure, so we have a multi-year project to be able to upgrade the system and
