Finance committee  I think we did ask for a small amount from the department. Would that be part of the $56 million that we were talking earlier about, Jim?

Finance committee  Right now a little more than half of our returns are filed electronically, including the ones filed through tax preparers and the ones filed directly by taxpayers themselves.

Finance committee  I think again it's just a reflection of the total increase. Our year-over-year increase is in about the 2% to 3% range due to increased population and increased tax-age filers. So that just reflects that we're tracking so far this year in about the same measure as we would expect to finish the year.

Finance committee  We're forecasting 25.1 million tax filers this year. Again, the vast majority of Canadians voluntarily comply with their tax filing. About 75% are getting refunds, so they have some encouragement to file as well.

Finance committee  The vast majority of those are individuals. In fact, this year we're predicting about 25 million such returns. I don't have the exact figure, but the big number is the individuals in there.

Finance committee  Well, the population grows every year, and therefore the number of people who become eligible to pay taxes increases with the population growth, largely.
