New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says Quebecers and residents of other provinces who own property in his province may eventually be allowed to travel there this summer — depending on public health conditions in the coming weeks.
Higgs imposed strict travel restrictions in March to limit movement within New Brunswick in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Since the start of the pandemic, there have only been 120 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Brunswick and not a single death — making it one of only two provinces in Canada, along with Prince Edward Island, that hasn't lost any citizens to the virus.
By comparison, Quebec now has 40,724 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 3,351 Quebecers have died.
In an interview on CBC's Quebec AM, Higgs said because New Brunswick hasn't had the same exposure to the coronavirus as Quebec has, it is still not ready to let in Quebec residents.
As the province does a phased reopening of its economy, however, Higgs said, he isn't ruling out the possibility of allowing in out-of-province travellers later in the summer.
"I don't want to put a timeline limit on it at this stage," Higgs said. "It just depends how things go over the coming weeks."
Higgs said property owners, who after all are taxpayers in New Brunswick, have contacted him, some arguing that they're prepared to self-isolate if they're allowed in. But it's still too soon to allow that to happen, he said.
He said some people in New Brunswick are not even comfortable with the idea of people moving around within the province.
Higgs said before opening the borders, he needs to evaluate how the province's own reopening process plays out and how the number of cases fluctuate in other provinces in the coming weeks. He's hoping public health officials have enough information to make that call by "some time in July."
"I don't want to write off the summer for our friends and neighbours."

There are two active cases of COVID-19 in New Brunswick. (CBC News)
Right now, islanders are able to drive through New Brunswick to get to P.E.I. and then take the ferry to the archipelago, but they are asked not to stop along the way.
The Parti Québécois MP for the archipelago, Joël Arseneau, sent a letter to Premier François Legault on Wednesday asking that the government come to an agreement with its neighbour to make sure that right-of-way is maintained.
He said there could be designated rest areas where people could stop to get gas and food.

The Magdalen Islands rely heavily on two economic pillars — fisheries and tourism, said the PQ MNA for the region, Joël Arseneau. (Marika Wheeler/CBC)
"We're in a unprecedented crisis, and I think we've got to work out solutions," said Arseneau.
On average, 80,000 people visit the archipelago every year, said Arseneau, and 80 per cent of them drive through New Brunswick to take a ferry from Souris, P.E.I.
He suggested the CTMA Vacancier, the vessel that normally offers cruises from Montreal to the Magdalen Islands, could be used as an additional ferry service from the Gaspé.
As Quebec gradually reopens some of its tourism activities, Arseneau said, it's important that the Magdalen Islands don't miss out on that economic revival.
With $90 million in tourism revenues and 1,500 jobs on the line, Arseneau said, not having road access through the Maritimes would mean "being $90 million in the hole, and we just don't know how we're going to survive the next year."
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs explains why he is not ready to open the border to Quebecers at this stage in the pandemic. 13:44

Methinks many double property tax payers will come and not be turned back by his minions long before Higgy has his first mid summer night's dream N'esy Pas?

What a stupid idea. Quebecers are selfish by nature. They've been raised to think they're better than everyone else. They have proven that they refuse to follow rules and bring hatred and bigotry wherever they go. They will bring disease to our province and kill our people. Keep them out.

I certain;ly hope that tax payers pf New Brunswick are happy and accepting of the fact that thier taxes are about to go up.
After all, if property owners are forbidden by the gov't to go to their proeprties on which they are PAYING taxes, a rebate for the restriction period must be given.
As well, if there are damages due to the forced abandonment - covered by insurance or not - all direct and indirect costs must be reimbursed as well.
And since teenagers will be forced to quarantine over the summer - yeah, sure - idle hands might be doing the devil's work. And what better places to trash or party in, heck even just loot, than house 'abandoned' by gov't edict.
The bills will add up. It will be cheaper to stand by the results of a draconian and unnecessary lock-down than to go to court.
Disclaimer: I/we live rural (now) in what is considered 'cottage country'. I/we welcome our seasonal friends and neighbours and we WILL support any lawsuits against the gov't for the above.
After all, it's only fair and just. And hey, it's only money from the gov't. And we all know that all the gov't has to do is push a button and the money is right there..

Reply to @sandy mechefske: You're equating a pandemic with no vaccine to a car accident. You're putting business profits above all lives. Would it take bodies being left in front of hospitals like in Ecuador to make you take it seriously? Would a crematorium breaking down from being overwhelmed by the amount of deaths as happened in New York change your mind? Nahh, you probably just want your hair cut.

I understand the points made by Peter Ray and am thinking about them. I live in Alberta but was born and brought up in New Brunswick. In the late 50's my father built a very small cottage that we moved to every summer from town. We struggle to keep it up as we do pay taxes and since we live out of New brunswick we pay double taxes which are quite high. As a born and bred New Brunswicker, not living in Quebec, I would like to have the opportunity to come back home to enjoy as much of the summer as the possible.

God, I wish we had Higgs leading us here in Maine (instead of Democrat Janet Mills). Today our governor caved in to the hotel industry and opened up all tourism starting June 1. Out of staters are “supposed” to quarantine for two weeks before coming, but Mills admitted it will be on the honor system. Many will just come, without quarantining, from virus hotspots Massachusetts and New York. Hotel workers will have to expose themselves to the virus or be fired. Those workers will transmit the virus to arriving guests.
So much for a staycation in Maine this summer (one of the few bright spots for us to look forward to lately). By the way, Mills has refused to close Maine’s border at all (the way Higgs closed NB). She said it wouldn’t be nice. SMH.

Give all or a good chunk of their tax back, keep them out for now. I saw on CTV question period last week that Quebec residents were being allowed to their cottage country but Ontario residents were not allowed to same area. Not sure if things have changed.

I live in Ottawa and we still can't go to our cottages in Quebec because the police are blocking the bridges, but they can travel from Montreal to the Gatineau hills, double standard. They travel daily from Quebec to Ontario with out any problems, they believe they have that right, but Ontarions don't have the same righ to visit. Double standard as always.

Mark Walen Cooper
Reply to @Kim Morris: Ah, the lust for payback never stops. Psst Legault directive to not travel outside one's region still exists even if roadblocks came down. Ps for Ottawa, could it be that it's because there are 1,725 Covid cases in Ottawa and 367 in Outaouais, that's about 500% more and 2,300% more deaths than in Gatineau yes 23 times more. You believe you have a right to spread the contagion, just to level the playing field. I'm not in Gatineau but in Montreal and no one is dreaming of visiting the Gatineau Hills. We have stuff you know, parks, trails, etc.

Methinks many double property tax payers will come and not be turned
back by his minions long before Higgy has his first mid summer night's
dream N'esy Pas?

Methinks Higgy et al and many Feds should understand why I just called
Joël Arseneau the member for Îles-de-la-Madeleine N'esy Pas?

What a stupid idea. Quebecers are selfish by nature. They've been
raised to think they're better than everyone else. They have proven
that they refuse to follow rules and bring hatred and bigotry wherever
they go. They will bring disease to our province and kill our people.
Keep them out.

I certain;ly hope that tax payers pf New Brunswick are happy and
accepting of the fact that thier taxes are about to go up.
After all, if property owners are forbidden by the gov't to go to
their proeprties on which they are PAYING taxes, a rebate for the
restriction period must be given.
As well, if there are damages due to the forced abandonment - covered
by insurance or not - all direct and indirect costs must be reimbursed
as well.
And since teenagers will be forced to quarantine over the summer -
yeah, sure - idle hands might be doing the devil's work. And what
better places to trash or party in, heck even just loot, than house
'abandoned' by gov't edict.
The bills will add up. It will be cheaper to stand by the results of a
draconian and unnecessary lock-down than to go to court.
Disclaimer: I/we live rural (now) in what is considered 'cottage
country'. I/we welcome our seasonal friends and neighbours and we WILL
support any lawsuits against the gov't for the above.
After all, it's only fair and just. And hey, it's only money from the
gov't. And we all know that all the gov't has to do is push a button
and the money is right there..
Bob Smith
Reply to @Peter Ray: I don't live in cottage country and will support
any government who fights lawsuits or the threats of them. I prefer my
life and safety over the needs of a non resident whining that their
cottage in a virtually virus free province should be available to flee
a province struggling to contain the pandemic. If you feel so strongly
to welcome them, go to Ontario/Quebec and greet your seasonal
neighbours in person.
Albert Wade POOF
Ron Jones
Reply to @Peter Ray: I have no problem with what you say at all
however that pendulum must swing both ways, if one of these residents
of Quebec or Ontario or even Maine where the virus is still very
active and they bring the virus in with them then they must be liable
for all associated costs, Hospital, Lost Wages, Lost business, civil
litigation for wrongful death if they cause someone to be infected
that dies. I would suggest they boost their personal liability
insurance by a few 10's of millions of dollars before they come.
Bob Smith
Reply to @Albert Wade: Fiasco? We have had ZERO deaths here and a low
number of infections. There are few provinces or states in North
America that have done better. I'm in no mood whatsoever to watch
entitled cottage owners roll into this province from areas that have
yet to get things under control. If they can't wait until late
June/July, let em sue...the health of this province's residents takes
priority over any impatience.
Norman Albert Snr:
Reply to @Peter Ray: Not an option. If you have valid reason for being
here fine. If you are just looking to vac and hide from virus do it
elsewhere. We don't need no stinking vacationers here at this point.
Clean and free.....at least for now.
Bob Sacamanau
Reply to @Ron Jones: Hospital?? Did I fall asleep and wake up to NB
becoming an independent nation ? Last time I checked , Universal
health
Care was for all Canadians, from coast to coast to coast.
Your province is an economic basket case that has to rely on $$$ from
other regions.
You should be begging for people to come in and pay taxes

will keep the Speedos off the beaches too.....

Reply to @Peter Ray: You can pay my share also ! And that of the rest
of my family ! Insurance covers damages done to properties and if
people don't want to pay for Insuring their properties , TOUGH LUCK !!
Although it appears you're willing to pay it for them. Good luck and
I'm sure they'll appreciate it ! Tell them I said Thanks !!!

great they're doing ! And , by the way , each province makes their own
decisions and we don't need other provinces " basket cases " at this
time , not mentioning any names !!!!!!!!!
sandy mechefske
Reply to @Albert Wade: but isn’t that always how it works? This
province is in decay and getting worse, but the sheeple buy into the
hysteria and happily collect OUR money, while keeping the rest of the
world out. The thing is, we’re all going to die, but it most likely
will be from cancer, heart disease, accident, the flu, suicide or
diabetes and not from this insignificant virus. But the mass hysteria
surrounding this virus has brainwashed the easily led. I am more
concerned about the authoritarian paternalism- the dictatorship which
is forcing adults to follow the powers that be, so- called science. I
find it disconcerting when the government states that they know what’s
best for me- when they decide what they think is essential, and when
some lives are more valuable than others. It’s scary.
sandy mechefske
Reply to @Bob Smith:so85% of all deaths from COVID-19 in Canada are in
long term care facilities- why is the 15% that, isn’t being held
hostage? Makes no sense for anyone. Are the lives of isolated loved
ones, not as valued? Are the small businesses closing or people losing
their jobs and homes not important? Seriously? Life comes with risk.
Should we not drive because we might get in an accident? Not fly
because we may die in a plane crash? Live. We should ALL be able to
live a quality life of our choosing, not what the government dictates.
We may get COVID-19, heck we may get skin cancer, but chances are
we’re not going to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19. I don’t get
why the only people being cared about are the Covid people. What about
the rest of us? The majority.

I understand the points made by Peter Ray and am thinking about them.
I live in Alberta but was born and brought up in New Brunswick. In the
late 50's my father built a very small cottage that we moved to every
summer from town. We struggle to keep it up as we do pay taxes and
since we live out of New brunswick we pay double taxes which are quite
high. As a born and bred New Brunswicker, not living in Quebec, I
would like to have the opportunity to come back home to enjoy as much
of the summer as the possible.

Dear Taxpayer:
Thank you for your correspondence regarding the KPMG case, which
attracted media attention. Thank you also for your understanding
regarding the delay of this response.
As Minister of National Revenue, my goal is to make sure the Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA) offers services that are fair, helpful, and easy
to use. This continues to be my priority and my focus as I devote my
efforts to delivering tangible results to taxpayers.
Although I cannot comment on a specific case, I can give you the
following general information. Settlements are concluded independently
from the Minister of National Revenue and the Minister's Office to
ensure the integrity of the tax system. They involve an independent
process within the CRA, in collaboration with the Department of
Justice.
In tax disputes, there is limited flexibility on settlement amounts
because CRA tax disputes are subject to the legal principles set out
in the Income Tax Act. The CRA is bound by the principles of tax law
and the rules arising from Canadian tax legislation. For example, when
a tax dispute involves an amount of $50,000, the taxpayer and the CRA
can agree on a lesser amount only if the determination of this amount
is based in law.
Settlements can also resolve tax issues that are not before the Court.
These settlements are carried out through an agreement called "minutes
of settlement," which is signed by a CRA official and the taxpayer.
Because this agreement is not public, taxpayers may see the use of
settlements as a lack of transparency. This is why I have asked the
CRA to review its procedures to find ways it can ensure greater
transparency regarding why it enters into settlements. Taxpayers
expect the tax system to be fair and equitable, and the CRA works
continuously to make sure that it is.
The CRA remains committed to combatting tax evasion and aggressive tax
avoidance. Individuals who participate in illegal tax strategies must
face the consequences of their actions, and taxpayers expect nothing
less.
I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns and trust the
information I have provided is helpful.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue

New Brunswick may let in out-of-province cottage owners by midsummer
Premier Blaine Higgs says he's open 'to making changes in the coming months' if Quebec situation improves

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says Quebecers and residents of other provinces who own property in his province may eventually be allowed to travel there this summer — depending on public health conditions in the coming weeks.
Higgs imposed strict travel restrictions in March to limit movement within New Brunswick in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Since the start of the pandemic, there have only been 120 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Brunswick and not a single death — making it one of only two provinces in Canada, along with Prince Edward Island, that hasn't lost any citizens to the virus.
By comparison, Quebec now has 40,724 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 3,351 Quebecers have died.
In an interview on CBC's Quebec AM, Higgs said because New Brunswick hasn't had the same exposure to the coronavirus as Quebec has, it is still not ready to let in Quebec residents.
As the province does a phased reopening of its economy, however, Higgs said, he isn't ruling out the possibility of allowing in out-of-province travellers later in the summer.
"I don't want to put a timeline limit on it at this stage," Higgs said. "It just depends how things go over the coming weeks."
Higgs said property owners, who after all are taxpayers in New Brunswick, have contacted him, some arguing that they're prepared to self-isolate if they're allowed in. But it's still too soon to allow that to happen, he said.
He said some people in New Brunswick are not even comfortable with the idea of people moving around within the province.
"We initially had people that didn't want other New Brunswickers to travel into their community because they were concerned about, you know, having an outbreak," he said.
Higgs said before opening the borders, he needs to evaluate how the province's own reopening process plays out and how the number of cases fluctuate in other provinces in the coming weeks. He's hoping public health officials have enough information to make that call by "some time in July."
"I don't want to write off the summer for our friends and neighbours."
There are two active cases of COVID-19 in New Brunswick. (CBC News)
Travel corridor to Magdalen Islands
Higgs said he is also open to the idea of negotiating the opening of a travel corridor to allow Quebecers to get to the Magdalen Islands.Right now, islanders are able to drive through New Brunswick to get to P.E.I. and then take the ferry to the archipelago, but they are asked not to stop along the way.
The Parti Québécois MP for the archipelago, Joël Arseneau, sent a letter to Premier François Legault on Wednesday asking that the government come to an agreement with its neighbour to make sure that right-of-way is maintained.
He said there could be designated rest areas where people could stop to get gas and food.
The Magdalen Islands rely heavily on two economic pillars — fisheries and tourism, said the PQ MNA for the region, Joël Arseneau. (Marika Wheeler/CBC)
"We're in a unprecedented crisis, and I think we've got to work out solutions," said Arseneau.
On average, 80,000 people visit the archipelago every year, said Arseneau, and 80 per cent of them drive through New Brunswick to take a ferry from Souris, P.E.I.
He suggested the CTMA Vacancier, the vessel that normally offers cruises from Montreal to the Magdalen Islands, could be used as an additional ferry service from the Gaspé.
As Quebec gradually reopens some of its tourism activities, Arseneau said, it's important that the Magdalen Islands don't miss out on that economic revival.
With $90 million in tourism revenues and 1,500 jobs on the line, Arseneau said, not having road access through the Maritimes would mean "being $90 million in the hole, and we just don't know how we're going to survive the next year."

God, I wish we had Higgs leading us here in Maine (instead of Democrat Janet Mills). Today our governor caved in to the hotel industry and opened up all tourism starting June 1. Out of staters are “supposed” to quarantine for two weeks before coming, but Mills admitted it will be on the honor system. Many will just come, without quarantining, from virus hotspots Massachusetts and New York. Hotel workers will have to expose themselves to the virus or be fired. Those workers will transmit the virus to arriving guests.
So much for a staycation in Maine this summer (one of the few bright spots for us to look forward to lately). By the way, Mills has refused to close Maine’s border at all (the way Higgs closed NB). She said it wouldn’t be nice. SMH.

I live in Ottawa and we still can't go to our cottages in Quebec because the police are blocking the bridges, but they can travel from Montreal to the Gatineau hills, double standard. They travel daily from Quebec to Ontario with out any problems, they believe they have that right, but Ontarions don't have the same righ to visit. Double standard as always.

Reply to @Kim Morris: Methinks you should bring that up with our Prime Minister. He lives and votes in your town during a provincial election but represents a Quebec riding which is another double standard that should not have escaped Doug Ford's notice N'esy Pas?
Mark Walen Cooper
Reply to @Kim Morris: Ah, the lust for payback never stops. Psst Legault directive to not travel outside one's region still exists even if roadblocks came down. Ps for Ottawa, could it be that it's because there are 1,725 Covid cases in Ottawa and 367 in Outaouais, that's about 500% more and 2,300% more deaths than in Gatineau yes 23 times more. You believe you have a right to spread the contagion, just to level the playing field. I'm not in Gatineau but in Montreal and no one is dreaming of visiting the Gatineau Hills. We have stuff you know, parks, trails, etc.

What a stupid idea. Quebecers are selfish by nature. They've been
raised to think they're better than everyone else. They have proven
that they refuse to follow rules and bring hatred and bigotry wherever
they go. They will bring disease to our province and kill our people.
Keep them out.

I certain;ly hope that tax payers pf New Brunswick are happy and
accepting of the fact that thier taxes are about to go up.
After all, if property owners are forbidden by the gov't to go to
their proeprties on which they are PAYING taxes, a rebate for the
restriction period must be given.
As well, if there are damages due to the forced abandonment - covered
by insurance or not - all direct and indirect costs must be reimbursed
as well.
And since teenagers will be forced to quarantine over the summer -
yeah, sure - idle hands might be doing the devil's work. And what
better places to trash or party in, heck even just loot, than house
'abandoned' by gov't edict.
The bills will add up. It will be cheaper to stand by the results of a
draconian and unnecessary lock-down than to go to court.
Disclaimer: I/we live rural (now) in what is considered 'cottage
country'. I/we welcome our seasonal friends and neighbours and we WILL
support any lawsuits against the gov't for the above.
After all, it's only fair and just. And hey, it's only money from the
gov't. And we all know that all the gov't has to do is push a button
and the money is right there..
Bob Smith
Reply to @Peter Ray: I don't live in cottage country and will support
any government who fights lawsuits or the threats of them. I prefer my
life and safety over the needs of a non resident whining that their
cottage in a virtually virus free province should be available to flee
a province struggling to contain the pandemic. If you feel so strongly
to welcome them, go to Ontario/Quebec and greet your seasonal
neighbours in person.
Albert Wade POOF
Ron Jones
Reply to @Peter Ray: I have no problem with what you say at all
however that pendulum must swing both ways, if one of these residents
of Quebec or Ontario or even Maine where the virus is still very
active and they bring the virus in with them then they must be liable
for all associated costs, Hospital, Lost Wages, Lost business, civil
litigation for wrongful death if they cause someone to be infected
that dies. I would suggest they boost their personal liability
insurance by a few 10's of millions of dollars before they come.
Bob Smith
Reply to @Albert Wade: Fiasco? We have had ZERO deaths here and a low
number of infections. There are few provinces or states in North
America that have done better. I'm in no mood whatsoever to watch
entitled cottage owners roll into this province from areas that have
yet to get things under control. If they can't wait until late
June/July, let em sue...the health of this province's residents takes
priority over any impatience.
Norman Albert Snr:
Reply to @Peter Ray: Not an option. If you have valid reason for being
here fine. If you are just looking to vac and hide from virus do it
elsewhere. We don't need no stinking vacationers here at this point.
Clean and free.....at least for now.
Bob Sacamanau
Reply to @Ron Jones: Hospital?? Did I fall asleep and wake up to NB
becoming an independent nation ? Last time I checked , Universal
health
Care was for all Canadians, from coast to coast to coast.
Your province is an economic basket case that has to rely on $$$ from
other regions.
You should be begging for people to come in and pay taxes
Michael Hatfield:
Reply to @Norman Albert Snr: agreed !!!! And an extended restriction
will keep the Speedos off the beaches too.....
Lou Bell
Reply to @Peter Ray: You can pay my share also ! And that of the rest
of my family ! Insurance covers damages done to properties and if
people don't want to pay for Insuring their properties , TOUGH LUCK !!
Although it appears you're willing to pay it for them. Good luck and
I'm sure they'll appreciate it ! Tell them I said Thanks !!!
Lou Bell
Reply to @Ron Jones: Peter will pay for the liability !
Lou Bell
Reply to @Bob Sacamanau: And where is your province ? Tell us how
great they're doing ! And , by the way , each province makes their own
decisions and we don't need other provinces " basket cases " at this
time , not mentioning any names !!!!!!!!!
sandy mechefske
Reply to @Albert Wade: but isn’t that always how it works? This
province is in decay and getting worse, but the sheeple buy into the
hysteria and happily collect OUR money, while keeping the rest of the
world out. The thing is, we’re all going to die, but it most likely
will be from cancer, heart disease, accident, the flu, suicide or
diabetes and not from this insignificant virus. But the mass hysteria
surrounding this virus has brainwashed the easily led. I am more
concerned about the authoritarian paternalism- the dictatorship which
is forcing adults to follow the powers that be, so- called science. I
find it disconcerting when the government states that they know what’s
best for me- when they decide what they think is essential, and when
some lives are more valuable than others. It’s scary.
sandy mechefske
Reply to @Bob Smith:so85% of all deaths from COVID-19 in Canada are in
long term care facilities- why is the 15% that, isn’t being held
hostage? Makes no sense for anyone. Are the lives of isolated loved
ones, not as valued? Are the small businesses closing or people losing
their jobs and homes not important? Seriously? Life comes with risk.
Should we not drive because we might get in an accident? Not fly
because we may die in a plane crash? Live. We should ALL be able to
live a quality life of our choosing, not what the government dictates.
We may get COVID-19, heck we may get skin cancer, but chances are
we’re not going to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19. I don’t get
why the only people being cared about are the Covid people. What about
the rest of us? The majority.

Bob Smith
Reply to @sandy mechefske: You're equating a pandemic with no vaccine
to a car accident. You're putting business profits above all lives.
Would it take bodies being left in front of hospitals like in Ecuador
to make you take it seriously? Would a crematorium breaking down from
being overwhelmed by the amount of deaths as happened in New York
change your mind? Nahh, you probably just want your hair cut.

Pat Yeo
I understand the points made by Peter Ray and am thinking about them.
I live in Alberta but was born and brought up in New Brunswick. In the
late 50's my father built a very small cottage that we moved to every
summer from town. We struggle to keep it up as we do pay taxes and
since we live out of New brunswick we pay double taxes which are quite
high. As a born and bred New Brunswicker, not living in Quebec, I
would like to have the opportunity to come back home to enjoy as much
of the summer as the possible.

To:
Dear Taxpayer:
Thank you for your correspondence regarding the KPMG case, which
attracted media attention. Thank you also for your understanding
regarding the delay of this response.
As Minister of National Revenue, my goal is to make sure the Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA) offers services that are fair, helpful, and easy
to use. This continues to be my priority and my focus as I devote my
efforts to delivering tangible results to taxpayers.
Although I cannot comment on a specific case, I can give you the
following general information. Settlements are concluded independently
from the Minister of National Revenue and the Minister's Office to
ensure the integrity of the tax system. They involve an independent
process within the CRA, in collaboration with the Department of
Justice.
In tax disputes, there is limited flexibility on settlement amounts
because CRA tax disputes are subject to the legal principles set out
in the Income Tax Act. The CRA is bound by the principles of tax law
and the rules arising from Canadian tax legislation. For example, when
a tax dispute involves an amount of $50,000, the taxpayer and the CRA
can agree on a lesser amount only if the determination of this amount
is based in law.
Settlements can also resolve tax issues that are not before the Court.
These settlements are carried out through an agreement called "minutes
of settlement," which is signed by a CRA official and the taxpayer.
Because this agreement is not public, taxpayers may see the use of
settlements as a lack of transparency. This is why I have asked the
CRA to review its procedures to find ways it can ensure greater
transparency regarding why it enters into settlements. Taxpayers
expect the tax system to be fair and equitable, and the CRA works
continuously to make sure that it is.
The CRA remains committed to combatting tax evasion and aggressive tax
avoidance. Individuals who participate in illegal tax strategies must
face the consequences of their actions, and taxpayers expect nothing
less.
I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns and trust the
information I have provided is helpful.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue

> 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

> 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

> 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

> 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’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,

> 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

> 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

>
> 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

> 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.

> All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant

> that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
> compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward

> The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in

> 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

>
> With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and

> CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
> For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting

> 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

Your province is an economic basket case that has to rely on $$$ from other regions.
You should be begging for people to come in and pay taxes
