Table 10 Response to Parliamentary Committees and External Audits
|
(a) It is important to note, however, that in fiscal year 2007-2008*,
the House of Commons' Standing Committee on Public Accounts (referred to in Parliament as "PACP") undertook initiatives related to the
practice of seeking "follow-up" information (referred to herein as 'status reports') further to Auditor
General Reports previously tabled in Parliament. Within this framework, on an exceptional basis, the
PACP Chair contacted
the CRA via written correspondence in order to obtain current
status reports to GRs previously tabled with
PACP. These status reports
are not GRs per se, but as they stem from previous GRs they have been included below.
(* NB: As the committee's letter was issued during fiscal year 2007-2008,
this information was previously included in the 2007-2008 Canada Revenue Agency Annual Report to Parliament.)
On March 5, 2009, the Chair of
PACP presented the Fifth
Report from the Subcommittee on Agenda and
PACP agreed to the following
recommendation:
"That all departments and agencies of the federal government that
have been subject to a performance audit by the Office of the Auditor General of Canada provide a detailed
action plan to address the audit findings and recommendations - including specific actions, timelines for
their completion and responsible individuals - to the Public Accounts Committee and the Office of the Auditor
General of Canada within six months of the audit being tabled in the House of Commons; and that departments
and agencies that are invited to appear before the Public Accounts Committee to discuss the findings of
an audit should, when feasible, provide an action plan to the Committee prior to the hearing."

In 2008-2009, various Parliamentary Committees did table reports
wherein the CRA is mentioned. These include:
The Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology (INDU),
Second Report: Study of a Crisis in the Auto Sector in Canada (presented to the House on March 31, 2009).

Recommendation 2: "The Canada Revenue Agency modify its tax revenue
estimation methodology by 30 September 2008. If this cannot be done by this date, the Canada Revenue Agency
should explain to the Public Accounts Committee the reasons for the inability to meet this deadline and
provide the Committee with a date by which this modification will be done."
