Thank you for your question.
I do, indeed, consider client service a priority. The fact that the Prime Minister chose a social worker as Minister of National Revenue was no mere happenstance. Since we're speaking to the issue of services to the public, I should mention that, for me, people who face greater challenges, and might not have their tax returns prepared by accounting firms, are important.
In the historic budgets we announced, we stressed the importance of improving telephone service as well. Many regions of Canada still don't have cellphone service or computer access.
And we want the public to be able to receive accessible, easy-to-understand documents by mail. This is particularly important given that 51% of Canada's population is functionally illiterate. This means that, when those people receive documents, they're unable to understand the contents.
With respect to volunteers, we need to see an increase in number, and they should be given much more support. The challenge is to help people who don't have the means to pay someone to fill out their tax returns. We're working on that.

Since your question is much more technical, Mr. Gallivan will answer it.

The 2013 program set a process in motion, in which the government determined that even more massive investments would be needed so that all amounts lost due to tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance could be recovered.

I want to emphasize that the major investments that our government is making at this time show the importance we accord to the entire tax evasion and tax avoidance issue. These investments will enable the Government of Canada to hire many more people and modernize the tools needed to address a problem that's international in scope. Mr. Gallivan will be able to complement my answer in this regard.

Indeed, international agreements have been drafted because countries noticed the problem is international in scope. And the agreements signed in Beijing last week evince a clear interest in dealing with the issue at an international level. This is why it's important that the government put all the necessary resources in place so that all Canadians can get back their fair share.

I will ask Mr. Gallivan to respond to the technical aspects of your question more precisely.

We must work internationally, to ensure our partners can exchange information under the agreements.
Mr. Gallivan should be able to answer this by providing an update.

It's important to specify that 17 million electronic funds transfers of $10,000 are something major in Canada. And, as I was saying, our new tools are bringing the non-compliance abroad to light.
We are on the right track toward uncovering $1 billion through voluntary disclosure programs. That's an increase of more than 400% in the course of the last six years.

Given the technical aspect of this question, I will ask Mr. Gallivan to respond.

In the matter we're discussing—the KPMG matter—I can tell you that I wasn't present when agreements were signed on the subject. Mr. Gallivan will be able to respond to the various points in your question.
