The Canada Revenue Agency receives 30 million tax returns per year, from individuals or companies, and I cannot comment on any of them.

The Canada Revenue Agency will do the job it has to do. I can assure you that, as long as I am in this position, it will be done exactly in that way, meaning that we will not discuss any specific case.

I work with the officials of the Canada Revenue Agency. What our government has done in the last two years is invest almost $1 billion specifically to combat tax evasion and tax avoidance.

All taxpayers' files are confidential and will remain confidential. I can assure you that no, repeat no, parliamentarian will have access to the Canada Revenue Agency's files.

I certainly do not believe that you would like the Minister of National Revenue to be talking about your file, or about the file of any other parliamentarian. That would be completely inconceivable.

Our current telephone system does not allow us to record calls. We have to set up a new platform that will meet the needs of Canadians.
Commissioner Hamilton will be able to give you more details on the three measures that we will soon be implementing.

The agency has a program that allows people to challenge its decisions. I will invite the Commissioner to talk to you about the unique features of that program.

In our first two budgets, we have invested $1 billion. As we have repeatedly said, these are unprecedented budgets in which the government gave priority to the fight against tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance. This has enabled us to hire 100 auditors. However, the Conservative government eliminated 50 auditor positions assigned to international tax evasion.
As of September 30, 2017, those funds had allowed the agency to conduct more than 990 audits and 42 criminal investigations related to financial structures abroad. Those activities are still ongoing.
That's the work those investments will allow the Canada Revenue Agency to accomplish in the next five years. The first budget, approved in 2016, covered the period ending in 2021. Budget 2017 provided for additional funds. This will help us work on tax evasion until 2022.

Unlike the Conservative government before us, our government decided to look into the tax gap. It was our promise to Canadians, and that's exactly what we are doing. We have taken a fact-based approach. To date, we have demonstrated our commitment to estimating the tax gap. We have actually published three studies since June 2016. We are continuing our efforts on the tax gap. That's what Canadians expect. In the summer of 2018, we will submit another report on the international tax gap.
I invite Commissioner Hamilton to give you more details on the issue.

Let me say to everyone here, around the table, that the Income Tax Act has not changed when it comes to the disability tax credit. No changes have been made to the eligibility criteria for the disability tax credit.
In addition, I can tell you that, at the Canada Revenue Agency, we are currently working to improve our communications with people so that they are much more respectful, much easier to understand—
