Just for the record, Revenue Canada doesn't make the laws or the
regulations, it just collects the tax. The Department of Finance
is responsible for our wonderful tax system. Revenue makes
submissions to Finance requesting changes, but so do lots of
other groups, and Finance doesn't always draft the legislation
Revenue would like to see.

Anyway, Mark is right. I wouldn't have the job I do if the
tax system were easy to understand!
