Mr. Speaker, our government understands that any potential work disruption can be stressful for Canadians who depend on important government services. The Canada Revenue Agency will not extend the deadline for filing tax returns. A potential work disruption will not prevent Canadians from filing their tax returns electronically or by mail before the May 1 deadline. We encourage all Canadians to file their taxes electronically. To reassure my colleagues, I can tell them that this is the best tax season we have had since 2015.

Mr. Speaker, I can say that I have nothing to learn from the Conservatives when it comes to tax season. This is the best tax season we have had since 2015. Fully 95% of tax returns are being filed electronically, and people receive their refunds just a few days later. We are doing excellent work. I want to thank all CRA employees for all the work they did during the pandemic and since the beginning of tax season.

Mr. Speaker, as I was saying, I would like to reassure my colleague: My nose is just fine. Restoring and maintaining a respectful relationship with the public service of Canada is an ongoing commitment for our government. We recognize the important role that employees play in the delivery of services to taxpayers. We will respect the collective bargaining process and we will not be commenting on negotiations which are in progress.
