Finance committee  The government should look to many companies for expertise. The government, just like private industry, is faced with a severe skills shortage, and as we think about being competitive in the future we need to look not only at our own made-at-home solutions but also at partnership and looking at different ways to bring services to Canadians.

Finance committee  In terms of what Intuit Canada was proposing, what we're looking at was really improving our relationship with the government agencies and government agencies with the private sector. In our specific case, with the CRA, we've moved forward several objectives. The reality of taxation in Canada is that it is complicated.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman and honourable members. Intuit Canada appreciates the opportunity to present to the finance committee and to contribute to the current public debate led by the committee on what Canada needs to do in order to have a meaningful place in a very competitive world.
