Good question.
I'm always extremely proud of the agency's employees, but I've been especially proud during the pandemic. A number of people have been working almost seven days a week throughout this period. They're increasingly working from home rather than in the office.
During the pandemic, we noticed a few times that we could have increased our efforts. However, in my opinion, this galvanized the agency. We did a good job during that time. We need to take this opportunity to find ways to do things differently in the future and become more innovative and effective.
It should be noted that we're almost finished developing a process for improving the benefit system. This system is important to the agency. Given that the federal and provincial governments have increased benefits, we've made the system better for the future. We've improved our capacity to succeed.

By the same token, the CCB program has really proven its effectiveness. However, we know that it isn't always easy for the most vulnerable Canadians to access a computer in order to apply online.
Are there ways to simplify or automate CCB applications to truly help the most vulnerable individuals and families?
I'm straying a bit from the Auditor General's report, but this is still an important question. I want to know how you plan to make it easier to access these benefits, which are essential for people in need.

As I said, the process is challenging for a certain part of the population. Even though we have a high success rate for this program, we must strive to make it more accessible to as many people as possible.
Part of the population doesn't have access to the program at this time, either because people are unfamiliar with the program or because they aren't comfortable with computers. To handle this situation, we've set up a community program with volunteers—

Do you think that the time has come to have automated systems for the tax return?

We have an automated system. Agency employees can enter data when they have the information on the taxpayer. The issue arises when the agency doesn't have the information in the system.
When the agency has the information on the taxpayer, there isn't any issue. We have the ability to enter the data into the form.
We're working very hard to try to find new approaches for vulnerable people.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Dompierre, in March 2020, Parliament allowed for a one-time payment of up to $300 per child to help families with the high costs of child care during the pandemic.
We know that the Canada Revenue Agency was responsible for this payment. However, in your opinion, which department proposed this payment and its eligibility requirements?

Thank you for the question.
I may have misunderstood, but you want to know which department proposed the payments. I believe that the government made the decision to use the program, in light of the pandemic, to help families. The Income Tax Act was amended, of course, to temporarily change that formula and allow more families to receive support during the pandemic.
To my knowledge, the government decided to ask the Canada Revenue Agency to manage this change.

Good afternoon.
The department responsible for this program is Employment and Social Development Canada. However, the Department of Finance is responsible for the Income Tax Act. This probably involved both of these departments.

Thank you for these clarifications, Mr. Le Goff.
I have a question for both of you, Mr. Le Goff and Mr. Dompierre.
What analysis did the departments use to decide on the payment amount and the expanded eligibility for families who wouldn't normally receive the Canada child benefit because their income was too high?

We haven't seen any analysis that supports the additional payment. However, we haven't requested this analysis. Regardless, it may exist.

I just want to understand, Mr. Le Goff.
According to your report, we don't know anything about the $300. I understand that you didn't conduct an analysis, but it could have been $300, $500 or $700. We don't have any details to show why this amount was chosen.

We don't have any details because this was beyond the scope of the audit, which looked at only the eligibility and accuracy of payments.

Thank you for these clarifications.
Mr. Hamilton, my question comes from one of my constituents, Ms. Dubé.
There are many reconstituted families. Currently, for the Canada child benefit, the spouse's income is taken into account in the calculation of the family allowances. This can frustrate some people.
Has the Canada Revenue Agency ever considered the idea of not calculating the income of a spouse in the case of a reconstituted family?
