As I mentioned earlier, the investment of $444 million over five years will be used to detect tax evaders and improve our technology and tools so that we can deal with international cases. With regard to audits and investigations, we will be hiring another 100 auditors to work on international cases. With regard to penalties and prosecution, legal advisors will be added to the CRA's investigative teams.

I should repeat that the term "amnesty" is not in use at the Canada Revenue Agency. There has been no amnesty, and there will be no amnesty.

Mr. Caron, I'm a French Canadian as well, and I am telling you that the term “amnesty” is not in use, and will not be used—

First of all, I am unable to confirm the authenticity of the document. I will say it again: there is no amnesty, there was no amnesty, and there will never be amnesty at the Canada Revenue Agency. Each file is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The objective of the CRA is to—

I would ask Mr. Gallivan to answer this question. And I must point out that I was not in the House as a minister in 1999.

This government has made historic investments. Our election platform made reference to such investments.

We have stated that the fight against tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance are priorities of this government.

Mr. Chair, as I mentioned from the outset, the Canada Revenue Agency is the one who detected the scheme put in place by KPMG.
I will ask Mr. Gallivan to answer my colleague, provide additional technical information, and complete the response.

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.
