Sr.
Michael Snaauw, Comisionado Asistente de la Agencia de Ingresos de
Canadá, presidió la Ceremonia de Clausura de la 52ava. Asamblea General
del CIAT. / Mr. Michael Snaauw, Deputy Commissioner of the Canada
Revenue Agency, chaired the Closing Ceremony of the 52nd General
Assembly of CIAT.
This event, one of the most important activity in the agenda of the
Center, was carried out successfully, thanks to the excellent
organization and reception provided by the Tax Administration of Canada,
and also the good technical quality level and contributions obtained
through the documents and presentations made by speakers, commentators
and moderators.
During the closing of the event, an invitation was extended to the
next Technical Conference of CIAT-IOTA-AT Portugal, to be held in
Lisbon, Portugal, from October 24 to 26, 2018. In addition, the National
Tax Administration Office of Cuba extended the invitation to the next
General Assembly to be held in that country in the first semester of
2019.
CIAT participated in the Workshop on “Good Practices on Technology
Applications for the Trade and Control facilitation in Customs”
CAPTAC-DR and the IMF organized the workshop on “Good Practices on the Application of Technology for the Facilitation of Trade and Control in Customs,” organized with the support of USAID and SUNAT, on June 4 and 5, 2018 in Lima, Peru.
During the workshop, aspects were discussed about the need for
customs administrations to invest efficiently in technology, including
elements such as the proper use of Business Process Management software
(BPMS), the use of technological equipment for border control including
non-intrusive equipment, and computer tools available to manage customs
processes and facilitate the analytical processing of information.
The CIAT Director of Technical Assistance and ICT, Mr. Raul Zambrano, spoke about the possibilities of using Blockchain technologies in tax and customs administrations.
Consists of nine Council Members elected
annually by the General Assembly. It is responsible for managing and
following up the performance of activities and the execution of the
Executive Secretariat budget, in addition to outlining CIAT’s
institutional strategies.
Composition
Consists of one President and eight Council Members. The President
will be the representative of the member country hosting the General
Assembly or, if the latter were held in a country from a region other
than the Americas, the representative of a country of the Americas that
the General Assembly designates. In case of temporary absence or left
office, his substitute shall be chosen from among the representatives of
member countries that sit in Council. The outgoing President or whoever
replaces him in his capacity as representative of his country and the
representative of the member country hosting the next General Assembly
shall be ex officio Council Members. The remaining six (6) Council
Members shall be elected by the Assembly for a two-year term, with only
one of them being a representative of a country from a region other than
the Americas. Renewal will take place annually by halves.
On June 6 and 7, 2018, the VII Regional Meeting of International Taxation
was held in the city of Havana, Cuba, organized by the Latin American
Network on Debt, Development and Rights (Latindadd), together with the
Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations (CIAT) and the National
Tax Administration Office of Cuba (ONAT).
From
left to right: Jorge Coronado, representative of the Latin American
Network on Debt, Development and Rights (Latindadd); Yamilé Pérez, head
of the National Tax Administration Office (ONAT) of Cuba; Marcio Verdi,
executive secretary of the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations
(CIAT).
Officials from the international taxation areas of the tax
administrations and finance ministries of Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador,
El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru, the Dominican
Republic and Uruguay participated in the event. Likewise, it counted
with the participation of experts from international organizations such
as OECD, regional organizations such as ECLAC, UNASUR, COSEFIN and
representatives of civil society such as Tax Justice Network, OXFAM,
among others.
Once again, this meeting has allowed us to move forward with the
discussions started seven years ago on BEPS, tax havens, tax competition
and tax transparency.
Before the end of the meeting, working groups formed by the delegates
of the tax administrations and ministries of finance present were
created, with the aim of defining regional conclusions on the topics of the discussions.
This report presents the results of a performance audit conducted by
the Office of the Auditor General of Canada under the authority of the Auditor General Act.
A performance audit is an independent, objective, and systematic
assessment of how well government is managing its activities,
responsibilities, and resources. Audit topics are selected based on
their significance. While the Office may comment on policy
implementation in a performance audit, it does not comment on the merits
of a policy.
Performance audits are planned, performed, and reported in accordance
with professional auditing standards and Office policies. They are
conducted by qualified auditors who
establish audit objectives and criteria for the assessment of performance;
gather the evidence necessary to assess performance against the criteria;
report both positive and negative findings;
conclude against the established audit objectives; and
make recommendations for improvement when there are significant differences between criteria and assessed performance.
Performance audits contribute to a public service that is ethical and
effective and a government that is accountable to Parliament and
Canadians.
Main Points
What we examined
The Canada Revenue Agency works to ensure that Canadians pay their
required share of taxes and that the revenue base is protected. It is
responsible for administering the Income Tax Act, which
specifies when taxpayers are required to file a return. A non-filer is
an individual, a corporation, or a trust who fails to file a tax return
as required by legislation.
Under the Excise Tax Act, businesses that meet certain
criteria are required to register for the goods and services
tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST). Non-registrants are businesses that
fail to comply with this requirement.
The Agency, through its Non-Filer/Non-Registrant (NF/NR) program,
works to encourage individuals, corporations, and trusts to comply with
the filing requirement and, in the case of businesses, with the GST/HST
registration requirements. In the 2010–11 fiscal year, the NF/NR
program’s salary budget was $39 million of the Agency’s total budget of
$4.5 billion, and it employed 700 of the Agency’s approximately
39,000 employees. This relatively small program area generated
$2.8 billion of additional taxes, interest, and penalties assessed in
each of the 2009–10 and 2010–11 fiscal years.
We looked at what the Agency has done to address non-compliance with
filing and registration requirements. The audit focused on how the
Agency identifies non-filers and non-registrants and how it plans,
monitors, and reports on its actions to improve compliance.
Audit work for this chapter was substantially completed on 5 January 2012. Further details on the conduct of the audit are in About the Audit at the end of the chapter.
Why it’s important
Income tax is the single most important source of government revenue.
For the income tax system to operate fairly and effectively, it is
important that all individuals and corporations file returns when they
are required by law to do so, and that they pay the taxes they owe. Not
doing so reduces the amount of money available for important government
programs such as health care, education, and the environment. Similarly,
businesses that are required to register for GST or HST, but do not,
may have a negative impact on government revenues. The Agency has
identified non-filers and non-registrants as high-priority issues to
address, as part of its efforts to combat non-compliance, including the
underground economy.
What we found
Because the Agency does not have the resources to pursue all
non-filers, it has developed a risk-scoring model to identify those it
will pursue. Agency analysis indicated that the files it chooses to
pursue result in returns filed and taxes assessed. However, it has not
tested its screening to determine whether the files it chooses not to
pursue from the initial 2.5 to 3 million files identified by the
matching process should in fact be pursued. In addition, two thirds of
the files initially selected for pursuit in the field are later
determined to have low potential, and work on them is discontinued. In
other words, the Agency does not know if its risk-scoring process is as
effective as it could be.
The Agency uses identification projects to find taxpayers who
may be participating in the underground economy. The majority of
projects completed were meeting or exceeding their targets for number of
tax returns filed and amounts assessed.
The Agency’s planning process tends to repeat actions from one
year to the next to identify non-filers and non-registrants. While it
considers the cost of its processes to pursue these files when planning
work, the Agency is not taking advantage of its research findings in its
work plans in order to improve its results in achieving compliance.
Current performance indicators focus on routine program
activities—for example, tax dollars and the number of taxpayers
assessed—rather than on the longer-term impact of the program, in
particular the Agency’s success at getting non-compliant taxpayers to
change their behaviour and file their returns. Various audits and
program evaluations over the years have recommended action to develop
additional performance measures and risk management of the
Non-Filer/Non-Registrant (NF/NR) program and to improve its use of
internal and external information. The Agency has made limited progress
in implementing many of these recommendations.
The Agency has responded. The Agency agrees with all of the
recommendations. Its detailed responses follow the recommendations
throughout the chapter.
Introduction
4.1 The mission of the Canada Revenue Agency is to administer tax, benefits, and related programs and to ensure taxpayer
compliance, on behalf of governments across Canada. As Canada’s tax
administrator, in addition to protecting Canada’s revenue base, the
Agency’s primary goal is compliance—ensuring that taxpayers meet their
obligations. Under the Canada Revenue Agency Act, the Agency is responsible for enforcing the Income Tax Act and the Excise Tax Act.
4.2 As part of fulfilling that responsibility, the Agency has created
the Non-Filer/Non-Registrant (NF/NR) program. The program’s mandate is
to encourage individuals, corporations, and trusts to comply with their
requirements under the Income Tax Act to file tax returns as
well as to encourage businesses to register for the goods and services
tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST). The NF/NR program’s stated objective
is
to develop fair, responsible and effective strategies
to achieve high levels of filing and registration compliance
commensurate with the level of funding while generating a high return on
investment (fiscal impact and production [returns obtained]).
4.3 The Income Tax Act identifies situations that require
individuals to file returns, which they must do to receive income tax
refunds. Since many individuals are employees, and income tax is
deducted at source from their pay, many receive refunds once they have
filed their returns. Therefore, filing is in their best interest.
4.4 Filing an income tax return is the first step in the compliance
continuum. The Agency assesses taxes once a taxpayer has filed a return;
if necessary, it may also assess taxes even if a taxpayer has not filed
a return. Once the return is filed, if taxes are owed, a different
compliance risk may arise—that of whether a taxpayer can or will pay the
amount owed. Taxpayers may not file their returns for a variety of
reasons. Some forget, some procrastinate, and others do not file their
returns or do not report their income in an effort to avoid tax. The
Agency provides tools to taxpayers to help them comply and, when
necessary, intervenes with a variety of actions.
4.5 An individual taxpayer is required to file a return when one of the following criteria is met:
Tax is payable.
The Agency requests or demands a return.
The taxpayer has elected to split pension income with a spouse or common-law partner.
The taxpayer wishes to receive the Working Income Tax Benefit.
The taxpayer has disposed of capital property or realized a taxable capital gain.
The federal government has overpaid Old Age Security or Employment Insurance benefits.
The taxpayer owes money to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan
(RRSP) because of the Home Buyers’ Plan or the Lifelong Learning Plan.
The taxpayer is required to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan.
Individuals, corporations, or trusts who do not file a tax return as required are called “non-filers.”
4.6 The Agency administers benefits on behalf of other government
departments as well as other levels of government. Often, these benefits
are based on information in the income tax return. Unless individuals
file a tax return, they cannot receive the benefits for which they may
be eligible. The Agency aims to facilitate access to benefits, such as
child benefits and the GST/HST credit, through its service delivery
programs.
4.7 In addition, under the Excise Tax Act, businesses must
register for the GST or HST if they provide goods or services equivalent
to $30,000 or more each year. Charities must register after
earning $250,000 in revenue; for public service bodies, such as schools,
universities, and hospitals, the threshold is $50,000. Taxi drivers and
certain non-resident businesses must register regardless of revenue.
Businesses that should register but do not are called “non-registrants.”
4.8 Approximately 700 of the Agency’s 39,000 employees work in the
NF/NR program. In the 2010–11 fiscal year, the program’s budget was
$39 million of the Agency’s total budget of $4.5 billion. Compared to
the other ways the Agency deals with compliance issues, such as audits
and income tax collections, the program is relatively small. Despite its
small size, the NF/NR program generated $2.8 billion of additional
taxes, interest, and penalties in each of the 2009–10 and 2010–11 fiscal
years.
4.9 The Agency has identified the pursuit of non-filers and
non-registrants as a high priority in its strategy to combat
non-compliance, including the underground economy. The Agency’s strategy incorporates
research, to understand non-compliance;
operations, to correct non-compliance through effectiveness and efficiency;
4.10 The Agency recently reviewed the delivery model for its NF/NR
program. The review looked at operational processes, workload
management, and resource use to identify improvements that would result
in better returns on investments for the program. In March 2011, the
Agency summarized its findings, and it is currently reviewing the
results.
Focus of the audit
4.11 The objective of the audit was to determine whether the Canada
Revenue Agency adequately addressed filing non-compliance (non-filers)
and registration non-compliance (non-registrants).
4.12 We looked at how the Agency planned suitable methods to address
both types of non-compliance, whether these plans incorporated past
experience and research, and whether they took into account the cost of
using these methods. We also looked at how the Agency validated its
selection decisions and how well its projects addressed non-filing
risks. Finally, we analyzed the way the Agency monitored and reported
its actions toward non-filers and non-registrants. In all of these
areas, we considered past audit and evaluation results, both internal
and external, and recommendations the Agency had previously accepted.
4.13 We did not focus on the issue of whether taxpayers are paying the taxes that had been assessed.
4.14 More details about the audit objectives, scope, approach, and criteria are in About the Audit at the end of this chapter.
Observations and Recommendations
Identifying non-filers and non-registrants
4.15 Most taxpayers in Canada file their tax returns on time. Others
file late before Agency intervention. The Agency will assess interest
and penalties for late-filed returns. If a tax return has not been
filed, the Agency will start the non-filer process.
4.16 There are two types of non-filers: known and unknown.
Known non-filers are those that the Agency can identify. It does this by
matching information slips (for example, T4 slips reporting employment
income and T5 slips reporting investment income) filed by employers or
other entities to tax returns filed by taxpayers.
4.17 Unknown non-filers are those the Agency cannot identify through
information slips or other documents. They are often self-employed or
operate within the underground economy. Because there is little or no
automated information about unknown non-filers and they are harder to
find, they are at higher risk of going undetected than known non-filers.
4.18 To start the identification process, Agency computer systems
match information slips to personal tax returns to determine if a
taxpayer has filed a return and if the amount reported is correct.
Information slips that do not have matching tax returns identify
potential non-filers. Each year, this process identifies 2.5 to
3 million individuals who are potential non-filers. Many are not
determined to be non-filers, since they may not be obliged to file a
return, or they may file their returns late. Another automated process
identifies corporate non-filers by matching their corporate business
numbers to corporate income tax returns.
4.19 Once this initial matching process has identified potential
non-filers, the Agency applies a risk-scoring process to select which
taxpayers to pursue. The initial process for pursuing them is automated (Exhibit 4.1).
The Agency sends letters, reminding them to file their outstanding returns.
If the Agency does not receive a return within 40 days, it may send a second “request to file” letter or it may send a demand to file.
Finally, if it has not received a return, the Agency may
transfer the file to a tax centre or a tax services office where a staff
member will begin a manual follow-up process. In some cases, the
process ends with the prosecution of a taxpayer, resulting in a fine or
jail term or both.
Exhibit 4.1—Process for pursuing individual non-filers, using the 2009 tax year as an example
*Total taxes assessed does not match the annual report, because this
is the T1 process for individuals and does not include corporations,
trusts, or GST/HST.
The Agency has validated its process for selecting files but not for rejecting files
4.20 We looked at whether the Agency validates (tests the validity
of) its screening process for identifying non-filers, and whether it
knows if the process was appropriate in identifying files to pursue. It
is important to validate this process, because it could include (“screen
in”) individuals who owe little or no tax or who are due a refund (low
potential), and exclude (“screen out”) individuals who owe high amounts
of taxes (high potential). For 2010 and 2009, we examined whether the
Agency validated its screening process to confirm that it was excluding
low potential files and including high potential files.
4.21 According to guidance from the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) on how to evaluate the effectiveness
of an organization’s strategies to encourage compliance, it is
important to validate the process that the organization uses to select
cases. This process is described in Exhibit 4.2.
A flawed selection process could result in high costs and poor results,
whereas sound selection processes result in low costs and positive
results.
Exhibit 4.2—The Compliance Risk Management Process
Source: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD), Guidance Note: Evaluating the effectiveness of compliance risk
treatment strategies
4.22 The individual (T1) risk-scoring process is designed to estimate
the amount of tax that may be owed, on a case-by-case basis, using
information available to the T1 matching process. The accuracy of that
estimate can be validated only when the taxpayer files a tax return, and
the actual amount of tax assessed can be compared to the estimated
amount. One of the Agency’s challenges is that it does not know how much
tax, if any, is owed until it receives a return.
4.23 We found that the Agency’s analysis of its T1 file-selection
process indicated it has some ability to predict the potential of the
files from non-filers who were assessed after having been identified in
the matching process. Risk scoring allows the Agency to prioritize
returns with high potential. For the majority of cases, particularly
when the file-selection process did not select a case for enforcement
action, the Agency does not know how well its risk-scoring process
works.
4.24 The Agency’s research does not provide a reliable estimate of
the tax potential of the files that the Agency decided not to pursue. To
get a reliable estimate of the potential of those files, the Agency
could randomly select a small number of accounts from the 2.5 to
3 million individuals that are identified annually as potential
non-filers. It could then develop baseline measures to determine the
effectiveness of its risk-scoring process. The Agency has developed a
new risk-scoring model for personal tax returns and has run pilot
projects to test its effectiveness. This new model also does not address
the potential in the files the Agency decided not to pursue. (Our
recommendation is at paragraph 4.29.)
The Agency needs to validate its process for registering potential non-registrants
4.25 The Agency’s process for identifying potential GST/HST
non-registrants involves matches, leads, projects, and previously
identified non-filers. The Agency focuses on businesses that it believes
ought to be registered but are not.
4.26 Its work involving non-registrants uses approximately
five percent of the NF/NR program resources. Agency guidance indicates
that when an individual is being reviewed as a non-filer, staff must
consider and act on GST/HST registration issues at the same time. We
were unable to determine if this was being done consistently.
4.27 We looked at businesses that were identified as potential
non-registrants between 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2011, to determine
whether the Agency validated its methods for pursuing non-registrants.
We found two areas of concern:
The Agency cannot manage the volume of potential non-registrants
that its matching process identifies. Each year, this automated system
identifies around 185,000 potential non-registrants and sends their
files for review. The Agency has the capacity to review about half of
these files. This means that a large number of potential non-registrants
may not be reviewed on a timely basis.
We also noted a file-selection issue. Given the volume of
potential non-registrants identified, it is important for the Agency to
select files according to their tax potential. While the current method
includes elements of risk assessment, the Agency has not completed
analysis that would allow it to determine the effectiveness of its
file-selection method.
4.28 In summary, the Agency does not know if its selection methods to
pursue potential GST/HST non-registrants are effective. Given the
Agency’s limited resources, it is important to prioritize files to
pursue. 4.29 Recommendation. The
Agency should determine the effectiveness of both its file selection and
rejection processes for the total population of potential non-filers
and non-registrants. The Agency’s response. Agreed. The Agency will
develop a methodology for determining the effectiveness of the file
selection and rejection processes. It is expected that this methodology
will be applied to the non-filer/non-registrant population in 2013–14;
and, in 2014–15, the file selection and rejection processes will be
adjusted, as required, based on the evaluation of the testing results
from previous years.
File selection for manual pursuit needs improvement
4.30 Once taxpayer files have gone through the automated process, and
taxpayers have still not filed a return, the files are transferred to
tax centres and tax services offices (collectively called “the field”)
for resolution. Agency field staff will attempt to find current
addresses for taxpayers, using the Internet and government databases.
They may use a variety of methods—including phone calls, personalized
letters, personal visits, and taxpayer lifestyle analyses—to achieve
filing compliance.
4.31 We noted that the Agency has been conducting research to find
the optimal enforcement strategy for individual non-filers. Using data
about filing history, the Agency has been trying to identify the
non-filers that are highest potential and, as such, should be sent
directly to the field, skipping the step of sending an automated letter.
The Agency has piloted a new model based on this research, and the
initial results are encouraging.
4.32 When field staff pursue a file manually, the potential results are
the Agency discontinues pursuit of a return, because it
determines that the file lacks revenue potential or that no return is
required.
In some cases, the Agency may apply penalties or prosecute taxpayers.
When it has successfully prosecuted a taxpayer, it issues a press
release to inform the public of the consequences of not filing a return
or not reporting income.
4.33 Guidance from the OECD states that tax authorities should ensure
that they choose the correct files to pursue, and that they consider
the cost of getting a non-filer to comply. We looked at
how the Agency selects files to pursue manually,
whether it evaluated the effectiveness of manual interventions, and
how it addressed any shortcomings.
4.34 Tax centres and tax services offices do not have the capacity to
pursue every potential file transferred from the automated process. The
Agency has identified an excessive inventory of non-filer cases at tax
services offices as a significant challenge, so choosing which files to
pursue is important.
4.35 Field staff can use the amount of tax potential that the Agency
estimates to select the potential non-filers that it pursues. They also
have a number of other tools to help choose files. However, an Agency
analysis, conducted as part of an NF/NR program renewal exercise,
determined that the tax potential calculated by the Agency does not meet
the field officers’ needs. In addition, the analysis found the
procedures used to select files at the tax services offices varied, as
did the quality of the file selection. About two thirds of the files
selected for manual pursuit ended up being discontinued, partly because
the field staff determined low tax potential after they started to work
on the file. When a file is discontinued, a decision is made to stop
work on it, even if the taxpayer has not filed a return.
4.36 A stronger risk assessment system would allow staff to
prioritize and focus on files with high potential. It would also provide
the Agency with the assurance that it can eliminate more low-potential
files from its inventory and allow it to use its resources more
efficiently and effectively.
4.37 Recommendation. The Canada Revenue Agency should implement a robust risk assessment system to prioritize its selection of files. The Agency’s response. Agreed. As noted in this
report, the Agency’s current effort towards improving file selection
through data analysis is encouraging. The Agency is committed to
developing and applying new risk assessment methodologies and business
intelligence solutions to improve the selection of both low- and
high-complexity files. The Agency will continue this work in 2012–13, so
that a more robust risk assessment process can be implemented
by 2015–16.
The Agency does not pursue all non-filing corporations
4.38 The Income Tax Act states that, unlike individuals, all
corporations are required to file a tax return, whether or not they owe
taxes. The Agency matches corporation business numbers to corporate tax
returns. If there is no corresponding return, the corporation is a
non-filer.
4.39 We looked at whether the Agency ranks corporations for pursuit
and excludes corporations based on predetermined criteria. We found that
corporations are assigned a risk rating based on the estimated tax
owing. However, the rating is for information purposes only; the Agency
does not use that rating to select files to pursue.
4.40 The Agency’s administrative position is that it will not pursue
certain types of corporations—such as incorporated municipalities and
non-profit organizations—because they are exempt from income tax.
Without tax returns for certain types of corporations, it is difficult
for the Agency to determine if they still meet the conditions for tax
exempt status.
Identification projects find non-filers for whom the Agency lacks information
4.41 The Agency has identified the underground economy as one of the
biggest risks it faces. The combination of the declining economy and a
growing number of self-employed individuals increases the risk
of revenues going unreported and under-reported and of a reduced
tax base.
4.42 According to the Agency, identification projects are one of
the ways that it identifies and addresses filing and registration
non-compliance that is missed, or is not prioritized, by the automated
process.
4.43 These projects may be based on various factors, such as local
knowledge and experience, regional concerns, and national issues.
The focus of identification projects tends to be on self-employed
individuals who carry on a business, because the Agency’s automated
systems address potential non-filers who receive information slips. For
example, the Agency’s automated matching process would not identify a
contractor who offers a low “cash-only” price for renovations.
4.44 Often, the research to identify which businesses to look at
begins at a tax services office, where staff review a large number of
businesses for filing compliance. As sources of information, they use
the Internet and directory and database searches, as well as projects
conducted at other field offices. They also seek information from other
levels of government.
4.45 The Agency’s 2009 Risk Action Plan indicated the need for a more
horizontal approach to enable a coordinated corporate strategy.
Furthermore, it indicated that more research, testing, and analysis
would be critical to help the Agency focus on high-risk industries and
cases. The Agency’s analysis of completed projects was to be finished by
early 2011, but it remains outstanding. In addition, the Agency was to
gather intelligence data, as part of its identification projects. Some
work has been started, but more is still required to complete the
intelligence gathering.
4.46 We looked at identification projects completed between
April 2009 and March 2011 to determine whether the Agency had adequate
methods in place to find and compel non-filers to file their returns.
Case Study 4.1—Examples of projects
In 2010, the Agency started a project that required a number of
cities to provide a list of individuals and companies that had received
revenues other than salaries. This would allow the Agency to check that
the recipients’ obligations under the Income Tax Act were being
met. The information received from the cities would be matched against
Agency databases. This would allow non-filers and non-registrants to be
identified and pursued by field officers to file their returns and
register their businesses.
Agency staff collected advertisements for home renovations and
construction from publicly available sources, such as telephone
directories, newspaper listings, flyers, and websites. This information
was used to see whether those businesses filed returns and were
registered for GST/HST.
4.47 We found that the Agency undertook some projects during the
audit period, but its choice of projects was not based on a
comprehensive analysis of the types of non-filers it might be missing.
The Agency’s own analysis concludes project activity is ad hoc and has not benefited from a more systematic approach.
4.48 We examined whether the identification projects achieved the
desired results. We also considered whether the Agency cancelled or
revised projects that were not meeting intended targets. We found that
the majority of completed projects met or exceeded their desired
results. However, we noted that one region was not consistently meeting
its targets. The Agency has made efforts to address these issues at the
regional level.
4.49 Agency guidance on projects suggests that, when compared to
other types of field work, identification projects find individuals with
higher average amounts of taxes assessed. We looked at identification
projects and other field work, by comparing the ratio of salaries to
assessed tax dollars, and we found no difference. This suggests that
identification projects are no more successful in raising tax revenue
than any other type of field work. However, they are important to the
success of the program, because they find the unknown non-filers and
send an important compliance message to taxpayers.
Tax services offices rarely follow the new project approval process
4.50 Tax services offices are expected to spend a portion of their
local budget on project work each year. They may also request additional
funding for special compliance projects. In both of the years under
audit, the Agency budgeted around 15 percent of its field salary dollars
for identification projects.
4.51 The Agency developed a project approval process, with a set of
rules, for submitting potential projects for approval. It developed the
process to ensure that it retained knowledge and experience obtained
during identification projects, and to encourage more rigour at the
local level when projects are being selected. For example, the process
identifies the need for
establishing a business case,
performing sample testing,
setting objectives,
establishing a strategy,
mapping the process, and
having the project approved.
4.52 We reviewed the applications for project approval by
Headquarters, to determine whether Agency staff followed the new rules,
which came into effect in July 2010. We found that most projects that
were submitted lacked important information. The most common omissions
were business case and sample testing, as well as approvals from local
managers. These missing pieces of information are critical to
demonstrate the need for the project as well as to assist in measuring
its success. Without sample testing, it is difficult to determine the
scope of the non-compliance staff are trying to address. Without
approvals at the local level, managers may be unaware of any issues or
may disagree with the scope and intent of the project.
Planning work
4.53 With a diverse population to identify and detect, planning
becomes a key factor in the process of identifying non-filers. Assessing
what worked in the past, incorporating lessons learned, and considering
the results of research all play a part in developing a business plan.
In addition, certain business sectors or geographic areas may be more
problematic than others. The Agency needs to consider what to measure
when developing a plan. To ensure success, the Agency must set
appropriate standards in advance.
4.54 The overall objective of the Non-Filer/Non-Registrant (NF/NR)
program is to achieve high levels of filing compliance and registration.
Managers need to know whether the Agency’s programs and choices lead to
desired changes in taxpayer behaviour, thus achieving this objective.
The annual planning process focuses on production targets
4.55 Guidance from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) refers to the importance of analyzing compliance
behaviour, determining treatment strategies, and planning and
implementing those strategies. Agency documents have identified
non-filers and the underground economy as among the highest risks the
Agency must address.
4.56 We reviewed planning documents for the period between
1 April 2009 and 31 March 2011. We did not find an integrated plan that
outlines the work of the NF/NR program as a whole. We saw budget
documents, output targets, and emails. We found that, each year, the
Agency used the same approach, which focused on obtaining a set number
of tax returns or registrations and a target amount of assessed taxes.
Because the Agency did not prepare and evaluate an integrated plan, it
did not review the program’s overall status.
4.57 During the years under audit, the internal reports on the
automated program production had an error in how production results were
calculated. The Agency has informed us that controls are now in place
to make sure that these reports are reliable.
4.58 In our 2005 audit (November Report of the Auditor General of Canada, Chapter 3, Canada Revenue Agency—Verifying Income Tax Returns of Individuals and Trusts),
we recommended that the Agency develop and implement a strategy to
better use certain types of information returns, such as documents that
report the sale of shares. This could be another useful source of
information in the matching process for identifying potential
non-filers. The Agency agreed with this recommendation but has not yet
fully implemented it.
4.59 The NF/NR program has undertaken a long-term initiative to
improve its operations. This initiative is based on an internal review
of the Agency’s offices across Canada, which is the foundation for
change in areas such as risk management. It is an example of positive
steps the Agency is taking, through the use of research, to improve its
planning and program operation. This initiative is in the early stages
of implementation, and it does not address past recommendations or other
research agenda issues.
The Agency considers the cost of achieving filing compliance when setting objectives
4.60 Risk management involves balancing risk with mitigation and
takes into account the concept of diminishing returns. This requires the
Agency to focus on obtaining compliance in cases where there is greater
tax potential, and should consider what resources are necessary to
achieve that level of compliance. We note, however, that the NF/NR
program also recognizes the need to send a deterrent message to certain
sectors, to encourage compliance.
4.61 Cost-benefit analysis aids in selecting the appropriate approach
to workload and general planning. We looked at the way the Agency
considers this analysis when it sets objectives and again, throughout
the year, when priorities or budgets change.
4.62 We looked at Agency planning documents and found that, each
year, it conducted a cost-benefit analysis before it began the automated
and manual processes to assign non-filing and non-registration files.
In fact, this concept was the foundation for many of the annual work
plans.
4.63 We reviewed three cases in which additional funds were injected
into the program partway through the fiscal year. Agency documentation
demonstrated that a clear cost-benefit analysis was conducted in only
one of the three cases.
Measuring results and making improvements
4.64 The Canada Revenue Agency’s risk management policy, guidance
from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),
and non-filer/non-registrant (NF/NR) operations manuals highlight the
importance of regularly learning from past experience, relevant research
findings, and action plans for the purpose of continuous improvement.
4.65 In addition to our 2005 audit,
we conducted an audit of the NF/NR program in 1994 (Report of the
Auditor General, Chapter 31, Revenue Canada—Ensuring Fairness of the
Income Tax System: Detection of Non-Filers and Special Investigations).
4.66 Some of the Agency’s internal audit and evaluation reports also addressed the NF/NR program, including the following:
2005—Contract Payments Reporting System Program Evaluation Study
2008—GST/HST Registration Compliance Evaluation Study
Performance indicators measure only routine program activities
4.67 The OECD notes that revenue collection bodies (organizations
that administer and enforce national tax laws) have traditionally
measured their performance through the day-to-day
activities that result from the various work streams they administer.
However, while such measures represent an important part of revenue
bodies’ reporting systems and help with their day-to-day management,
they do not offer insights into the impact of their activities. Positive
trends are sometimes assumed to reflect improvements in taxpayers’
compliance, but this may not be true. The Compliance Risk Management
Process (Exhibit 4.2)
links taxpayer behaviour to strategies. Strengthened performance
monitoring would incorporate this concept and help the Agency to make
this link.
4.68 Previous audit and evaluation recommendations, which the Agency
accepted, included the need for performance measures that provide more
meaningful information. In our 1994 audit report on non-filers, we found
that the focus on files obtained and taxes assessed did not provide
information on whether taxpayer behaviour had improved. The Agency’s
2008 GST Registration Compliance Study found that the yearly production
targets that headquarters set for the NR workload
do not demonstrate the extent to which the program is
having the desired effect of addressing registration non-compliance
or identifying the relative risk posed by the non-registrant population.
4.69 The Agency’s 2007 Internal Audit Report concluded that its
existing program performance measures are sufficient to assess routine
program activities. However, according to the internal audit, the NF/NR
program needed to develop performance measures and indicators to
accurately report its outcomes. Doing so would provide a complete
performance picture of its portfolio to support the Agency’s strategic
decision-making.
4.70 We reviewed published performance measures, as well as those
available internally to Agency staff, for the two years under audit. We
looked for the trend analysis and behavioural impact that were being
incorporated into management information.
4.71 We found that the Agency uses the following indicators to assess the program
amount of taxes assessed,
amount spent on salaries,
number of returns filed, and
number of GST/HST registrations obtained.
For the two years under audit, the NF/NR program exceeded its target
of $2.4 billion for taxes assessed; it assessed $2.8 billion in each of
the 2009–10 and 2010–11 fiscal years.
4.72 The Agency also reports the rate of voluntary compliance in its
Annual Report to Parliament, as a measure of the overall level of filing
compliance in Canada. Individual filing compliance is quite high; in
each of the years under audit, 92.8 percent of returns were filed on
time, exceeding the target of 90 percent. Corporations are less
compliant; the target of filing 90 percent of returns on time has not
been met for a number of years (for example, 85.1 percent were filed on
time for the 2010–11 fiscal year and 85.5 percent for 2009–10). (Exhibit 4.3)
Exhibit 4.3—The Agency’s target and compliance rates
Source: Canada Revenue Agency’s annual reports to Parliament, 2005–06 to 2010–11
4.73 In its annual report to Parliament for the 2008–09 fiscal year,
the Agency committed to reporting the percentage of taxpayers
that it identified as having outstanding tax returns after the Agency
initiated an action. It did not report these percentages for the 2009–10
or 2010–11 fiscal years.
4.74 The Agency does report annually on GST registration compliance.
However, it reports this compliance as a percentage based on GST filing
compliance, since the actual number is unknown. In our opinion, this is
not a meaningful measure because there is no relation between those who
file their GST returns and those who are not registered for GST. The
Agency’s annual report for the 2008–09 fiscal year indicated that the
next report would include a percentage measure of the effectiveness of
the actions that the Agency took to identify businesses that are
required to register for the GST/HST. No measure was included in
subsequent annual reports.
4.75 The Agency continues to struggle to develop measures that
demonstrate its effectiveness in addressing filing or registration
compliance.
4.76 Recommendation. The Canada Revenue Agency
should follow through on its previous commitments to develop meaningful
performance measures and indicators. The Agency’s response. Agreed. Performance
indicators should evolve and adapt to changes in the program. Existing
indicators continue to provide relevant information on program
activities, expenditures, and results. New indicators, however, can
provide even more meaningful information if the systems to collect and
report on the data can be created. System changes will be governed by
Agency and Government of Canada funding and expenditure policies.
Beginning in 2012–13, the Agency will, in line with the Auditor
General’s recommendation, review the relevant performance indicators to
ensure they further support program reporting requirements.
The Agency has not integrated research results into planning to improve the program
4.77 The Agency has been conducting research on non-filer behaviour
for many years. Understanding why certain taxpayers do not file their
returns is essential to developing effective action plans. The Agency
has identified some actions it could take to increase non-filer
compliance, such as changes to the contents of letters sent
to non-filers (to be implemented for the 2012–13 fiscal year) and
standard reminders from Agency staff when they respond to taxpayer
queries about their obligations to file tax returns.
4.78 We reviewed the Agency’s use of “data mining” (sifting through
large amounts of data to find useful information) to improve the way it
selects cases for non-filer enforcement action. One research project
looked at the accuracy of the risk assessment when compared to the
actual amount a non-filer declared on a tax return, regardless of Agency
intervention. Overall, data mining shows promise.
4.79 In 1994, we concluded that to conduct compliance research and
generate more leads, which would help it to find non-filers who are not
on the tax roll, the Agency needed to continue expanding its use of
internal and external sources of information. We also concluded that the
Agency needed to evaluate how effective it was at convincing non-filers
to file tax returns.
4.80 We looked at whether Agency enforcement action has an effect on
voluntary compliance. While the Agency has not conducted any research
about the effect of its NF/NR program on the Canadian public, its
research on the non-filer population indicates that individuals who were
subject to enforcement action were more likely to file their returns in
future years. However, the impact fades over time, and future voluntary
compliance is lowest among taxpayers who required more severe
intervention, such as prosecution. This measure could be used to track
the impact of the NF/NR program.
4.81 We looked at Agency research about non-filers and
non-registrants to determine whether any of the research findings
had been integrated into the program planning during the period
we audited.
4.82 We found the Agency had a multi-year plan to conduct research,
but it was not always clear how this plan fit into the NF/NR program’s
overall plans. We saw no modifications to the annual planning process to
incorporate research findings; the process was primarily a repeat of
the previous year’s actions. An Agency’s program evaluation of GST/HST
Registration Compliance, in 2008, noted similar concerns about risk and
research.
4.83 Recommendation. The Canada Revenue Agency
should include its research findings in its planning and reporting
processes, to effectively manage the risk of non-filers and
non-registrants. The Agency’s response. Agreed. The Agency has made
significant progress in conducting research and gathering business
intelligence through the acquisition of data, technology, and the Agency
research agenda. The Agency recognizes that there are opportunities to
improve how this intelligence is incorporated into the planning and
reporting processes. By 2013–14, the Agency will develop and implement a
formal process to achieve this goal.
Conclusion
4.84 The Canada Revenue Agency has adequately addressed
non-compliance concerning the filing of tax returns and GST/HST
registration, although we identified some areas for improvement. In
particular, it does not know the impact of its actions on taxpayer
compliance.
4.85 The Agency has identified suitable methods to address filing and
registration non-compliance. The planning process has some weaknesses,
because it is not integrated with research and audit findings and tends
to rely on past methods, although it does include the cost of applying
particular methods.
4.86 The Agency uses a risk-scoring model and data-mining research to
choose files to pursue through an automated process, but it has no way
of knowing whether it excludes the right files. Field staff use various
methods to choose files, in addition to the automated risk-scoring
system that does not always identify the files with the greatest
potential for obtaining a tax return and assessing taxes.
4.87 Identification projects successfully find non-filers about whom the Agency has no previous information.
4.88 The Agency’s performance measures do not provide information
about the impact of the Non-Filer/Non-Registrant (NF/NR) program or on
whether the program met its objective of achieving high levels of
compliance. Rather, they measure the results of routine program
activities. In addition, the Agency has made limited progress in
implementing our previous recommendations or on those from its own
internal audits and program evaluations. Overall, the NF/NR program
works, but there is room for improvement.
About the Audit
All of the audit work in this chapter was conducted in accordance
with the standards for assurance engagements set by The Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants. While the Office adopts these
standards as the minimum requirement for our audits, we also draw upon
the standards and practices of other disciplines.
Objectives
The overall audit objective was to determine whether the Canada
Revenue Agency adequately addressed filing non-compliance (non-filers)
and registration non-compliance (non-registrants). For the purposes of
this audit, we defined “adequately” and “addressed.” Adequately meant in
a measureable way, with targets and indicators reflecting the selection
and identification process, and whether the Agency knew at each stage
(at Headquarters and in tax services offices and tax centres) if the
process was effective. Addressed meant concentrated on or directed its
activities toward.
We conducted our audit with the following lines of inquiry, each with its own sub-objective:
Identifying, selecting, and pursuing non-filers and non-registrants.
To determine whether the approach to addressing non-filers and
non-registrants was implemented as designed, at Headquarters and in the
tax centres and tax services offices.
Planning. To determine whether the Agency had designed an adequate approach to addressing non-filers and non-registrants.
Monitoring and reporting actions to address non-filers and non-registrants.
To determine whether the Agency monitored and reported its actions in
addressing the inventory of non-filers and non-registrants.
Scope and approach
The audit focused on the program areas concerning non-filers and
non-registrants with the Taxpayer Services and Debt Management Branch.
In particular, we looked at how they planned the work, used previous
audit findings and research, and selected files, according to a risk
assessment. We also considered how the Agency monitored and reported on
the risk of non-filing and non-registration.
During our audit, we requested and reviewed documents and reports
from the Agency. We also analyzed data relating to identification
projects and file selection. Our review of applications for
identification projects included the random sampling of 40 files over
the two-year period of our audit. We chose our sample in accordance with
statistical sampling methodology, to provide a high level of assurance
that the Agency was following procedures when approving projects. A
sample size of 34 is sufficient to project the entire population of 62
with an expected error rate of 0 percent, a confidence interval of
+10 percent, and a confidence level of 90 percent.
To confirm our understanding of the information we received, we
interviewed Agency staff at various levels and locations. We visited
eight tax services offices, three tax centres, and one regional office
and conducted interviews with regional program advisors, technical
advisors, managers, field officers, team leaders, and assistant
directors. At the Agency’s headquarters, we met staff in the Enterprise
Risk Management Branch, Strategy and Integration Branch, and the
Taxpayer Services and Debt Management Branch.
We did not examine Agency activities related to
payment non-compliance,
non-filing of GST (as opposed to non-registration), and
criminal activities of the underground economy.

Appendix—List of recommendations
The following is a list of recommendations found in Chapter 4.
The number in front of the recommendation indicates the paragraph where
it appears in the chapter. The numbers in parentheses indicate the
paragraphs where the topic is discussed.
Recommendation
Response
Identifying non-filers and non-registrants
4.29 The Agency should determine the
effectiveness of both its file selection and rejection processes for the
total population of potential non-filers and non-registrants. (4.20–4.28)
Agreed. The Agency will develop a methodology for
determining the effectiveness of the file selection and rejection
processes. It is expected that this methodology will be applied to the
non-filer/non-registrant population in 2013–14; and, in 2014–15, the
file selection and rejection processes will be adjusted, as required,
based on the evaluation of the testing results from previous years.
4.37 The Canada Revenue Agency should implement a robust risk assessment system to prioritize its selection of files. (4.30–4.36)
Agreed. As noted in this report, the Agency’s current
effort towards improving file selection through data analysis is
encouraging. The Agency is committed to developing and applying new risk
assessment methodologies and business intelligence solutions to improve
the selection of both low- and high-complexity files. The Agency will
continue this work in 2012–13, so that a more robust risk assessment
process can be implemented by 2015–16.
Measuring results and making improvements
4.76 The Canada Revenue Agency should
follow through on its previous commitments to develop meaningful
performance measures and indicators. (4.67–4.75)
Agreed. Performance indicators should evolve and adapt to
changes in the program. Existing indicators continue to provide
relevant information on program activities, expenditures, and
results. New indicators, however, can provide even more meaningful
information if the systems to collect and report on the data can be
created. System changes will be governed by Agency and Government of
Canada funding and expenditure policies. Beginning in 2012–13, the
Agency will, in line with the Auditor General’s recommendation, review
the relevant performance indicators to ensure they further support
program reporting requirements.
4.83 The Canada Revenue Agency should
include its research findings in its planning and reporting processes,
to effectively manage the risk of non-filers and non-registrants. (4.77–4.82)
Agreed. The Agency has made significant progress in
conducting research and gathering business intelligence through the
acquisition of data, technology, and the Agency research agenda. The
Agency recognizes that there are opportunities to improve how this
intelligence is incorporated into the planning and reporting processes.
By 2013–14, the Agency will develop and implement a formal process to
achieve this goal.

Summary of the project / initiative / change
Overview of the program or activity
The mandate of the non-filer program is to promote compliance with
the filing requirements of individuals, corporations and trusts, as
outlined in the Income Tax Act and various other pieces of legislation.
Although the majority of Canadians file their tax returns on time as
required by Canadian tax laws, some taxpayers do not. Filing an income
tax return is the first step in the tax compliance continuum. The Agency
raises a tax assessment once a taxpayer files a tax return. Taxpayers
may not file their returns for a number of reasons. The Agency provides a
variety of tools to help taxpayers file their returns.
The non-filer program performs an important enforcement role to
protect revenue at risk. The Agency actively encourages tax payers to
file voluntarily. In cases where taxpayers do not meet their filing
obligations, the program may enforce filing compliance under the Income
Tax Act. Enforcement action may involve demanding returns, raising
assessments under subsection 152(7) of the Income Tax Act, field visits
and in rare situations, prosecution.
Non-filers can be categorized as known or unknown. Known non-filers are
those the Agency can identify as having a tax potential based on
information that is available to the Agency (for example, information
slips that are on file such as T4 or T5 slips).
Unknown non-filers are those the Agency cannot identify a factual tax
potential due to the lack of information the Agency has about the
taxpayer. Individuals that fall into the unknown category are
often self-employed or may operate within the underground economy.
Unknown non-filers continue to pose a risk as they are more difficult to
identify and risk score for enforcement action.
Each tax year after the filing deadlines have passed, non-filers are
identified through automated processes. Taxpayer accounts that have not
filed tax returns are identified for the annual load and are loaded into
the Système Universal Delpac System (SUDS).
Once the non-filer accounts are loaded into SUDS, the Agency applies a
risk-scoring process that identifies whether or not there is tax
potential on the accounts and prioritizes the accounts by their risk
score. This process is used to identify the accounts selected for
potential enforcement action.
Currently accounts identified in SUDS for non-filer enforcement action are subject to the following processes:
Automated letters
Non face to face enforcement action at the National Verification and Collection Centres and Tax Centres
Face to face enforcement action at the tax services offices
Accounts that score low or have no tax potential
identified are routed to the SUDS drop silo. These accounts are selected
for additional campaigns through the Debt management Call Centre, CRA
nudge initiatives and Non-filer enforcement project work that targets
the underground economy. What’s new? Requirement for Information Unnamed Persons
The Workload Development and Business Intelligence Section (WDBIS) in
the Individual Compliance Directorate is responsible for developing new
techniques to identify non-compliance. This includes developing
projects, conduct research and identify emerging risks, to gain
understanding of compliance behaviours and suspected areas of
non-compliance, test innovation risk treatments and improve risk
assessment methodology. As part of the Requirement for Information
Unnamed Persons (RFIUP), data is obtained through a federal court order
to obtain data on unnamed persons.
The information obtained from RFIUP, is sorted and matched against
existing source data for risk assessment purposes. Technology and
Business Intelligence Directorate provides business intelligence and
risk assessment services for the WDBIS. Nudge
Nudge initiatives use the concept of gently influencing taxpayer
behavior to become tax compliant. Studies have shown that the use of
nudging has benefited the compliance continuum for other tax
administrations, to improve compliant behavior by the taxpayer.
The non-filer program has initiated two nudging concepts using the
Automated Dialing Announcement Device and letters to send soft messages
to taxpayers from the Système Universal Delpac System (SUDS) drop silo.
These are non-filer accounts that have not been selected for enforcement
action. The results are being analysed by business intelligence. New Workload Management System
The Collections and Verification Branch (CVB) is replacing the
existing legacy systems with a new case and workload management system
(WMS). The graduated replacement is ongoing to 2023. The new WMS will
accommodate CVB’s compliance enforcement requirements. The non-filer
program is the first to onboard under Release 1, scheduled for October
2018. This release will replace the SUDS used by the non-filer program.
Scope of the Privacy Impact Assessment
This privacy impact assessment identifies and assesses privacy risks
to personal information relating to the administration of the non-filer
program activities for the enforcement of the filing requirements of
individuals, corporations and trusts under the Income Tax Act.
Business intelligence activities relating to the creation of
Non-Filer compliance strategies and workload development have been
assessed in a separate privacy impact assessment entitled Collections
and Verification Business Intelligence.
Projects and initiatives that focus on the underground economy and
non-compliance continue to be developed. As a result, as new
initiatives or a change to an existing process within the program is
identified, this privacy impact assessment will be reviewed and updated
as required.
Risk identification and categorization
A) Type of program or activity
Criminal investigation and enforcement / National Security Level of risk to privacy: 4 Details: Individuals, corporations and trusts do not
always file their required returns and do not directly provide
information when requested by CRA. Non-filer officers need to obtain
information from sources as necessary, to have sufficient factual
information in order to raise 152(7) assessments or pursue prosecution
action.
In the majority of circumstances, the data will be compiled to
establish non-compliance demographics, trend analysis and workload
management. In the event that the taxpayer continuously does not meet
the obligations of their requirement to file, the non-filer program will
consider proceeding with prosecution action under 238(1) or a
compliance order under 238(2) of the Income Tax Act if needed. B) Type of personal information involved and context
Social Insurance Number (SIN), medical, financial or other sensitive
personal information and/or the context surrounding the personal
information is sensitive. Personal information of minors or incompetent
individuals or involving a representative acting on behalf of the
individual. Level of risk to privacy: 3 Details: The information used within the non-filer
program is gathered from compliance activities, searching of open and
publicly available social media web sites, unnamed persons requests, as
well as from other program activities within CRA including those
administered by the Domestic Compliance Programs Branch, International,
Large Business and Investigations Branch, Assessment, Benefit, and
Service Branch, and Collections and Verification Branch.
Information could include but is not limited to the SIN, information
that is available in the CRA systems such as; current or past employers,
assets, income amounts, other financial information, and contact
information such as addresses and/or phone numbers. Certain information
belonging to individuals and corporations that may not be directly
associated with the subject taxpayers may be accessed during the
non-filer program activities. The non-filer program will institute
limitations in the examination and collection of personal information
related to the taxpayer and others, and will segregate the information
that is pertinent to the program through role based access. C) Program or activity partners and private sector involvement
Private sector organizations or international organizations or foreign governments Level of risk to privacy: 4 Details: The non-filer program develops and applies
strategies to identify and resolve non compliance related to the filing
of income tax and information returns. The program also addresses the
underground economy activity that results in non-compliance related to
unfiled returns, and is responsible to participate with building and
maintaining internal and external federal, provincial, and municipal
government partnerships through memoranda of understanding and data
exchanges while promoting effective communication and horizontality.
Information for the most part is derived from internal CRA sources.
As we move forward the Individual Compliance Directorate has sources of
data obtained through named and un-named requirements for information
from private sector companies and organizations.
In addition, archived paper copies of personal information are stored and retained at a private-sector records storage facility. D) Duration of the program or activity
Long-term program Level of risk to privacy: 3 Details: The non-filer program is a permanent activity and is based on necessity and Income Tax Act legislative provisions. E) Program population
The program affects certain individuals for external administrative purposes. Level of risk to privacy: 3 Details: This activity will affect non-compliant
taxpayers with respect to their tax return and/or information return
filing requirements under the Income Tax Act.
F) Technology & privacy
Does the new or modified program or activity involve the implementation
of a new electronic system, software or application program including
collaborative software (or groupware) that is implemented to support the
program or activity in terms of the creation, collection or handling of
personal information? Risk to privacy: Yes
Does the new or modified program or activity require any modifications to IT legacy systems and/or services? Risk to privacy: No
The new or modified program or activity involves the implementation of one or more of the following technologies: Enhanced identification methods - this includes
biometric technology (i.e. facial recognition, gait analysis, iris scan,
fingerprint analysis, voice print, radio frequency identification
(RFID), etc...) as well as easy pass technology, new identification
cards including magnetic stripe cards, "smart cards" (i.e.
identification cards that are embedded with either an antenna or a
contact pad that is connected to a microprocessor and a memory chip or
only a memory chip with non-programmable logic). Risk to privacy: No Details: n/a Use of Surveillance - this includes surveillance
technologies such as audio/video recording devices, thermal imaging,
recognition devices , RFID, surreptitious surveillance / interception,
computer aided monitoring including audit trails, satellite surveillance
etc. Risk to privacy: No Details: The program does not involve the use of surveillance on individual taxpayers associated with the non-filer program.
However, all non-filer program employee accesses to identifiable
taxpayer information (create, view, modify, and delete profiles) is
logged and monitored to prevent, detect, and deter unauthorized access
to taxpayer information. This allows the Agency to proactively monitor
accesses and identify irregular activity and/or system misuses.
A national audit trail system is used to verify that only an authorized
user accesses personal information and to ensure that access can be
linked to specific individuals to support the investigation of suspected
or alleged misuse. This activity is already described in the standard
personal information bank Electronic Network Monitoring Logs PSU 905. Use of automated personal information analysis, personal information matching and knowledge discovery techniques
- for the purposes of the Directive on PIA, government institutions are
to identify those activities that involve the use of automated
technology to analyze, create, compare, identify or extract personal
information elements. Such activities would include personal information
matching, record linkage, personal information mining, personal
information comparison, knowledge discovery, information filtering or
analysis. Such activities involve some form of artificial intelligence
and/or machine learning to uncover knowledge (intelligence),
trends/patterns or to predict behavior. Risk to privacy: Yes Details: The Technology and Business Intelligence
Directorate of the Collections and Verification Branch is responsible
for providing analytical support services to the non-filer program,
including the acquisition and maintenance of high quality data, business
intelligence, business analytics, and risk assessment services. As a
result, the Collections and Verification Business Intelligence PIA (file
IC-076952) covers most of the automated personal information analysis,
personal information matching, knowledge discovery techniques and
predictive models as it pertains to business intelligence related to the
non-filer program.
The non-filer program uses the data analysis to conduct further
compliance risk and gap analysis for file selection purposes to identify
the highest risk files for enforcement action. For example, by using
predictive models, accounts that would "self-resolve" are identified
allowing the focus on enforcement efforts to point to higher risk
accounts.
The Workload Development Business Intelligence Section (WDBIS) supports
workload development through the coordination of analytics, research and
trends analysis report requests for all individual compliance program
workloads. G) Personal information transmission
The personal information is transmitted using wireless technologies. Level of risk to privacy: 4 Details: The information is entered into the various
CRA computer systems used by the Agency including the Système Universal
Delpac System’s diary option.
At times, the non-filer program officers may obtain information from
publicly open social media web sites which require a connection to the
Internet. The internet access is controlled and monitored based on CRA
policies.
Any data obtained by the non-filer program is not transferred to any type of portable device such as CD/DVD discs, USB keys.
NF field officers may use laptops with full disk encryption and standard
Secure Remote Access (SRA) 2.0. The Information Technology Branch has
developed an enterprise-wide telecommuting platform that offers users
secure access to the network.
SRA 2.0 allows users to gain access to the CRA network anytime and
anywhere internet is available. This application is managed by Shared
Services Canada. All users are required to sign on with their individual
Public Key Infrastructure certificate which sets out clear policies and
procedures for employees. H) Risk impact to the individual or employee Details: Reputation harm, financial harm, or
embarrassment if the CRA systems are compromised and information is
leaked to the public. In the event of a privacy breach, loss or misuse
of taxpayers’ information, there may be opportunity for fraudulent
activities or identity theft occurrences.

Welcome to the RCMP Lead Security Agency website for the physical protection of the Government of Canada.
As mandated by Treasury Board under Section 6.2 and Appendix B of the Policy on Government Security
(PGS), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is the lead security
agency (LSA) responsible to provide leadership and coordination for
departmental activities that help ensure the physical protection of the
federal government information, assets, facilities and people.
The Departmental Security Branch (DSB), as part of the RCMP Technical Operations
Directorate, is the unit overseeing the LSA program and the planning,
coordination and delivery of physical security related advice, guidance
and services to federal departments.
More specifically, DSB is responsible for:
Coordinating the development and provision of training and awareness related to physical security;
Leading interdepartmental committees and working groups;
Collecting and reviewing best practices for physical security;
Coordinating research on physical security;
Providing advice and guidance to departments on the physical
protection of government documents, assets and facilities (including
facility design) and on physical security equipment, systems, procedures
and countermeasures; and
Representing the Government of Canada on national and
international initiatives related to crime prevention and physical
security.
DSB also supports Public Safety Canada on federal horizontal
initiatives related to the physical protection of national critical
infrastructure (CI) by collaborating with and advising federal partners
and CI stakeholders.
The Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) controls
secure access to the parliamentary grounds and buildings. Visitors to
the parliamentary buildings are required to undergo a security screening
at all building entrances. A recognizable government photo
identification card will be required as part of the access control
measures. PPS is asking visitors to allow sufficient processing time
prior to their appointments. There are bag restrictions in effect. No
appointments are required to attend Senate and House of Commons debates
(galleries and public committees).
Visit the Parliament of Canada website:
• For an appointment with a parliamentarian or parliamentary employee, click on Business visits.
• For bag restrictions and other security information, click on one of the tabs for additional information.
• For information on guided tours, click on Centre Block/East Block guided tours.
The RCMP National Division's office is in Ottawa but, contrary to other RCMP Divisions, its mandate has no physical territory.
The
RCMP in the National Capital Region (NCR) has a general duty mandate.
This includes traffic on federal routes and properties, patrolling and
demonstrations.
We protect the Prime Minister and some Canadian
and foreign dignitaries (VIPs). We also protect embassies, consulates
and other designated locations in the NCR.
We also investigate a
variety of sensitive, high profile cases that could threaten Canada's
integrity and reputation; for example, cybercrime, domestic and
international corruption, war crimes and crimes against humanity, to
name a few.
Majority of Parliament Hill security staff haven't had thorough background checks
Daniel Leblanc Parliamentary reporter
OTTAWA
A
majority of the security personnel on Parliament Hill, some of whom are
armed, have not had thorough background checks and routinely have
access to sensitive information despite a lack of official clearance,
federal officials say.
The situation
applies to two groups of non-police officers employed by the
Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS): protective officers who carry
guns and work mostly inside parliamentary buildings, and detection
specialists who screen vehicles and visitors before they enter secure
areas on the Hill.
The PPS was
created in 2015 to beef up security in the Parliamentary precinct eight
months after a gunman killed a soldier and stormed Centre Block. It
combined the former Senate and House of Commons Protection Services and
the RCMP's Parliament Hill Security Unit with the RCMP in charge of the
operation. However, government officials say most of the non-RCMP
personnel in the PPS have not had screening equivalent to that of the
RCMP officers.
The
RCMP, with intelligence-sharing agreements around the world, regularly
shares findings about potential threats throughout the PPS. For example,
the RCMP can provide intelligence to non-police officers that comes
from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), even though the
recipients lack the necessary security clearance.
When
PPS was created, the RCMP began to apply its own screening to all of
the members of the new service. About 100 of the non-RCMP security
workers received it. It includes fingerprint checks, financial
inquiries, a loyalty assessment by Canada's spy agency and, in some
cases, in-person interviews. Clearances are periodically reviewed.
However,
the two unions representing officers who had worked for the House of
Commons and Senate objected to the change, and it was stopped before all
employees had gone through the screening, PPS spokeswoman Melissa Rusk
said. It was replaced by a process called a site-access check.
As
it stands, 56 per cent of the non-RCMP personnel were working on the
Hill before 2015 and do not have any PPS security clearance, Ms. Rusk
said. They were checked before their hiring, but they were not all
carrying guns at the time and the clearances were not reviewed.
The
remaining 44 per cent of the non-police PPS personnel either have the
RCMP clearance or, more commonly, the site-access check.
Conducted
by Senate administrators, this process goes through databases,
including a check for criminal records, but it is not as thorough as an
analysis that includes fingerprint checks. It also stops short of full
financial checks that could reveal vulnerability to blackmail, or
extended family checks that could expose other threats, sources said.
Ms.
Rusk said a new security standard, which will be tougher than the
site-access check and "will apply to all PPS employees," should be ready
to be implemented by next year.
However, a labour dispute over contract
bargaining between the PPS and the three unions that represent its
employees could stall the efforts. The dispute has been heating up in
recent weeks. The PPS has disciplined staff for wearing lime-green ball
caps to draw attention to the issues.
Roch
Lapensée, whose union represents former House employees, said his
members were all vetted and deemed to be trustworthy at the time of
their hiring. He said the PPS has not consulted him about the new
security screening, and criticized the RCMP for trying to impose its own
standards on his members.
"We have
been here for more than 100 years. We don't need to have the RCMP
culture imposed upon us, we don't want it," said Mr. Lapensée, who is
the president of the Security Services Employees Association.
House
of Commons protection personnel and RCMP officers gunned down Michael
Zehaf-Bibeau on Oct. 22, 2014, after he killed Corporal Nathan Cirillo
at the War Memorial and stormed through Parliament's Centre Block.
The
incident exposed security gaps in the symbolic heart of Canadian
democracy, and tensions between the groups providing that security. A
review of the event by the Ontario Provincial Police concluded that "the
approach to the security and protection of Parliament Hill is highly
inadequate."
Sources said the RCMP
is concerned that it cannot act on some of the recommendations made
after the terrorist attack, including enhancing security clearances to
prevent "insider threats."
Until
the creation of the PPS in 2015, the RCMP patrolled the grounds of
Parliament Hill, while the House and Senate security staff worked the
inside the buildings.
Now, the RCMP is slowly replacing Mounties on the Hill in outdoor positions with PPS protective officers.
In
the coming months, some of the RCMP-branded cars on the Hill will be
replaced by six new vehicles in the colours of the PPS. Eight PPS
officers have received extensive training and started working alongside
Mounties in recent weeks on mobile response teams intended to be at the
forefront in critical incidents.
In
addition, the Mounties who screened all vehicles entering Parliament
Hill since the terrorist attack have been replaced by non-RCMP detection
specialists. The RCMP will also start to put more more PPS officers in
"static positions" – on the roads on Parliament Hill and in front of
buildings.
Officially, the changes
are to make the best use of PPS's $65-million annual budget. In salary,
training and overhead, it is estimated that filling security positions
with RCMP officers costs about twice as much as using non-RCMP
protective officers.
"We continue to
look at the efficiency of our security posture and the optimization of
our resources," Assistant Commissioner Mike Duheme, commanding officer
of the RCMP's National Division, said in an interview. "This budget
comes from taxpayers, and it's my duty to always be reviewing practices,
look at who is doing what, to optimize our resources and to always be
on the lookout for efficiencies."
The
changes are considered a first step toward addressing concerns over the
RCMP getting the overall responsibility for security on the Hill. A
number of parliamentarians dislike the fact the RCMP, which reports to
the executive branch of government rather than the legislative branch,
is officially in charge of security in the country's legislative
chambers.
"It is totally
unacceptable that the Prime Minister controls the guns that are in
Parliament," NDP MP David Christopherson said during a recent committee
hearing.
In addition, relations are
still tense between the three groups that were merged to form PPS,
including complaints over the quality of each group's equipment,
vehicles and rest areas.
The
Security Services Employees Association complains that its members who
carry weapons still lack the title "peace officer," which would grant
them further powers of arrest and detention akin to their RCMP
colleagues.
"The full transition
cannot occur until the protective officers have the same rights and
authorities as RCMP officers," Mr. Lapensée said. "We have been asking
for the status of peace officer for over 20 years."
Mr.
Lapensée argued that the transition from the RCMP officers to PPS
personnel is too slow and does not go far enough. The new PPS vehicles
will not have police lights and cannot be driven faster than normal
speed limits, even in emergencies.
Mr.
Lapensée said the speakers of the House and the Senate would have to
approve new funding to speed up the transition, with increased budgets
for training and new equipment.
"We would like things to move more quickly, but that would take more money," he said.
Speaker of the House of Commons Geoff Regan has issued a ruling strongly condemning RCMP. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang
Commons Speaker Geoff Regan has ruled the RCMP could be found in
contempt of Parliament over advice to firearm owners and gun shops on
rifle prohibitions under new gun law amendments.
Regan said language the national police force had used assumed the
government’s bill to bring in new controls over gun sales had already
been approved by the Commons – when it had not yet passed through
committee hearings.
Responding to a complaint from Alberta Conservative MP Glen Motz,
Regan said the RCMP acted in a “careless manner” by posting advice to
gun owners and businesses that made it seem as if Bill C-71 had already
become law.
The Commons referred the incident to the Procedure and House Affairs Committee for investigation on a motion from Motz.
In his ruling, Regan dismissed RCMP attempts to duck the issue
quickly by changing the wording on its Canadian Firearms Program web
site the same day Motz made his complaint in the Commons.
After the Mountie web site adjustments, Liberal MP Mark Holland, the
Parliamentary secretary to Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, had
urged Regan to dismiss the contempt allegations because “the matter
raised was simply one of debate as there was clearly no presumption of
anything in the information respecting Bill C-71 on the RCMP website.”
The dispute centres on a clause in the gun legislation that would
prohibit specific models of controversial semi-automatic rifles imported
from Czechoslovakia and Switzerland.
The controversy goes back to 2015, when the former Conservative
cabinet amended the Firearms Act to give cabinet authority to overrule
RCMP firearms classifications that prohibited the Swiss and Czech
rifles, after the Mounties had earlier classified the guns as either
non-restricted or restricted – and therefore legal to own in Canada.
Bill C-71 proposes to amend the Criminal Code to repeal the
Conservative changes that gave the new override power to cabinet, and
the bill also proposes to prohibit all 16 of the Swiss Arms guns the
Conservatives legalized and most of the Czech CZ 858 rifles listed in
the bill.
An RCMP bulletin to firearm retailers in April, shortly after Goodale
tabled the legislation in late March, advised “businesses will need to
determine if their firearm(s) will be affected by these changes.”
It also said outright that the Swiss weapons will also be prohibited.
A separate RCMP web post for individual gun owners stated “If your SA
(Swiss Arms) firearm was listed in Bill C-71, it will be classified as a
prohibited firearm.”
The legislation includes a “grandfathering” clause for current owners of any of the rifles that would be prohibited.
Anyone who legally owns the newly prohibited rifles as of June 30
would be able to continue to legally own them should the legislation
become law.
“Parliament’s authority in scrutinizing and adopting legislative
proposals remains unquestionable and should not be taken for granted,”
Regan said in his ruling Tuesday.
“The Chair is troubled by the careless manner in which the RCMP chose
to ignore this vital fact and, for more than three weeks, allowed
citizens and retailers to draw improper conclusions as to their
obligations under the law,” Regan said.
“Changing the website after the fact does little to alleviate these
concerns. Parliamentarians and citizens should be able to trust that
officials responsible for disseminating information related to
legislation are paying attention to what is happening in Parliament and
are providing a clear and accurate history of the bills in question.”
“Accordingly, the Chair finds this to be a prima facie matter of
contempt of the House,” said Regan. “I invite the member … to move the
appropriate motion.”
Motz and other Conservative MPs used a subsequent debate over Motz’ motion to denounce the new firearm bill.

Mr. David Raymond Amos

Dear Mr. Amos:
>
> Thank you for your various correspondence about
abusive tax schemes,
> and for your understanding regarding the delay of
this response.
>
> This is an opportunity for me to address your
concerns about the way
> the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with
aggressive tax planning,
> tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting
individuals and groups
> that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of
tax. It is also an
> opportunity for me to present the Government of
Canada’s main
> strategies for ensuring fairness for all
taxpayers.
>
> The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of
Canada’s tax system,
> and it is taking concrete and effective action to
deal with abusive
> tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016
and 2017, the
> government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking
down on tax
> evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the
use of
> offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to
generate
> federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget
2016, and
> $2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
>
>
More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
>
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
>
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
> sales
tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
> and
wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
> promoters of
abusive tax schemes.
>
> On the offshore front, the CRA continues to
develop tools to improve
> its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also
considering changes to
> its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the
first set of program
> recommendations received from an independent
Offshore Compliance
> Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading
international
> projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting
initiative of
> the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and
> Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address
the
> Panama Papers leaks.
>
> These actions are evidence of
the government’s commitment to
> protecting tax fairness. The CRA has
strengthened its intelligence and
> technical capacities for the early
detection of abusive tax
> arrangements and deterrence of those who
participate in them. To
> ensure compliance, it has increased the number
of actions aimed at
> promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures
include increased
> audits of such promoters, improved information
gathering, criminal
> investigations where warranted, and better
communication with
> taxpayers.
>
> To deter potential
taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
> increasing
notifications and warnings through its communications
> products. It also
seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
> and community groups
so that they can become informed observers who
> can educate their
clients.
>
> The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and
other
> representatives who make false statements involving illegal
tax
> schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government
can
> lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal
prosecution,
> court fines, and jail time.
>
> Between April
1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
> investigations resulted
in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
> tax evasion with links to
money and assets held offshore. In total,
> the $34 million in evaded
taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
> and 734 months of jail
time.
>
> When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the
courts, the CRA
> consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an
appropriate
> solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time
consuming,
> and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover
amounts
> owed are considered.
>
> More specifically, in
relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
> scheme, publicly
available court records show that it is through the
> CRA’s efforts that
the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
> of the participants
and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
> CRA has also identified
at least 10 additional tax structures on the
> Isle of Man, and is
auditing taxpayers in relation to these
> structures.
>
> To
ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
> March
2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
> and its
clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
> Professor and
former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
> University,
examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
> relation to
the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
> the names of
all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
> review, the
report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
> had acted
appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
> file. The report
found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
> took were in
accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
> concluded that the
procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
> appropriate given the
facts of this particular case and were
> consistent with the treatment of
taxpayers in similar situations. The
> report concluded that actions by
CRA employees were in accordance with
> the CRA’s Code of Integrity and
Professional Conduct. There was no
> evidence of inappropriate interaction
between KPMG and the CRA
> employees involved in the case.
>
>
Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
>
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
> of
interests between their current duties and any subsequent
> employment
outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
> Consequences and
corrective measures play an important role in
> protecting the CRA’s
integrity.
>
> The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The
consequences of
> misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its
repercussions
> on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct
can result in
> disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
>
> All
forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
> Leads
Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
> cases of
tax evasion across the country. This program, which
> coordinates all the
leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
> whether there has
been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
> that the information is
examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
> compliance measures are
taken. This program does not offer any reward
> for tips
received.
>
> The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also
been put in
> place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals
who
> provide information related to major cases of offshore tax
evasion
> that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31,
2016, the
> OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from
possible
> informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based
on
> information the CRA received through the OTIP.
>
> With a
focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
> internationally and an
increased ability to gather information, the
> CRA has the means to target
taxpayers who try to hide their income.
> For example, since January 2015,
the CRA has been collecting
> information on all international electronic
funds transfers (EFTs) of
> $10,000 or more ending or originating in
Canada. It is also adopting a
> proactive approach by focusing each year
on four jurisdictions that
> raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA
audited 3,000 EFTs
> totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving
approximately 800
> taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated
with
> approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed
60
> audits.
>
> In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s
important role as a leader for
> tax authorities around the world in
detecting the structures used for
> aggressive tax planning and tax
evasion. This is why Canada works
> daily with the Joint International Tax
Shelter Information Centre
> (JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in
over 35 countries. The
> CRA participates in two expert groups within the
JITSIC and leads the
> working group on intermediaries and proponents.
This ongoing
> collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to
develop strong
> relationships with the international community, which
will help it
> refine the world-class tax system that benefits all
Canadians.
>
> The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early
signs of
> success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as
a
> result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore
fronts.
> Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit
efforts
> relating to large businesses and multinational
companies.
>
> But there is still much to do, and additional
improvements and
> investments are underway.
>
> Tax cheats
are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who

promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax

the consequences of their actions. Canadians

New
harassment policy in works after allegations against Speaker
Legislative
administration committee is setting up sub-group to write
policy, says David
Coon
CBC News · Posted: Apr 12, 2018 7:53 PM AT |
The CBC Political
Panel discussed the harassment allegations against
Speaker Chris Collins.
Details about the allegations have not been
made public. (CBC
News)
Listen to the full CBC New Brunswick Political Panel podcast
by
downloading from the CBC Podcast page or subscribing to the podcast
in
iTunes.
Members of the legislative administration committee want a
more robust
harassment policy specifically for the legislature, according to
Green
Party Leader David Coon.
A sub-group of the committee is
drafting a new policy, which "will go
above and beyond the workplace
harassment policy for general
government," Coon, a member of the committee,
said during the CBC New
Brunswick Political Panel podcast this week.
Speaker Collins to fight 'politically driven' harassment allegation
Mystery swirls around who will run for Liberals in Moncton Centre
The
decision follows harassment allegations revealed last week by
Premier Brian
Gallant against Speaker Chris Collins.
Gallant suspended the Moncton
Centre MLA from caucus over a complaint
he harassed a former employee of the
legislative assembly.
Collins, who was planning to run in the September
provincial election,
will fight the allegations, according to his lawyer,
T.J. Burke.
Political Panel: April 12 Edition
00:00 34:42
This weeks
political panel with Terry Seguin discusses the allegations
of harassment
against Chris Collins. 34:42
Filling policy gaps
The legislative
administration committee has agreed the clerk of the
legislature will select
an independent investigator to examine the
complaint. It has also begun work
to clarify issues with the
harassment policy with respect to the allegations
against the Speaker.
"The decision to do that reflects that there was a
gap at the
legislative assembly," Coon said.
The Liberals were
criticized by opposition panel members for their
response to the complaint.
Four of the five panellists said the
government failed to follow the existing
harassment policy in not
taking action when it learned there might be a
complaint.
Green Party Leader David Coon says the legislative
administration
committee is going to draft a new harassment policy. (CBC
News)
Gallant learned of a possible complaint in February but has said
his
office couldn't act until the official complaint was filed April
5.
But the Progressive Conservatives were quick to point to the
policy
that says senior officials must take action about harassment
"whether
or not a complaint is filed."
PC member Ted Flemming said on
the panel that he was pleased to see an
independent investigation because he
doesn't trust the executive
branch to get to the bottom of it.
There
is a pattern of shrouding the truth, said the MLA, pointing to
scandals such
as Atcon and inflated property taxes.
"We're not able to get thNDP Leader
Jennifer McKenzie took exception
to Flemming's comparisons,
saying the
process should be followed and communicated clearly to the
public and
shouldn't be politicized.
McKenzie said the rights of both Collins and
the complainant should be
respected and due process given.
Speaker Chris
Collins says he'll fight the harassment allegations. (CBC)
People's
Alliance Leader Kris Austin said time is of a factor with the
investigation
since it's an election year and Collins was committed to
running. Austin
pitched a 60-day deadline for the investigation.
Gallant has said Collins
could not run as a Liberal candidate while
suspended from
caucus.
Rousselle responds
Attorney General Serge Rousselle told the
panel the topic should not
be discussed. He said the harassment policy is
being followed and it
would be "inappropriate" to comment on the matter
during the
investigation.
Attorney General Serge Rousselle says the
Collins case shouldn't be
discussed while an investigation is underway. (CBC
News)
Rousselle also dismissed calls for a full inquiry.
"It could
jeopardize the confidentiality of this process and
discourage other people
from coming forward with their own complaints
for the fear of publicity that
would follow," he said.
He said it's the government's understanding the
complainant does not
want a full inquiry either.

President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
