Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General's report exposes yet another example of Liberal incompetence, this time at the Canada Revenue Agency.
Since 2015, the CRA's operating expenses have grown from $4.1 billion to $6.9 billion. That is a 70% increase, but Canadians are not getting better service; they are waiting longer than ever.
Last year alone, the CRA received more than 32 million calls, yet one in four of those calls was abandoned before an agent even got around to answering it. Under Liberal mismanagement and incompetence, if finally someone did get through, they were given the wrong information 83% of the time. After nine years of Liberal waste and bureaucracy, even calling the tax agent is an ordeal.
Conservatives will restore confidence, accountability and respect for the Canadians who keep this country running.
With Liberals, why is it that Canadians always pay more, but get less?
