What was Canada Revenue doing while the electronic systems were down last month?

I am pleased to report that workers were not idle. There was no monkeying around like at the DJ headquarters.

Employees from the Canada Revenue Agency were hard at work, auditing past years of tax assessments for their clients while the systems were being worked on. Yesterday the soome family received a tax assessment form for tax year 2003. It appears that through some oversight, the Canada Revenue agency had overpaid the soome bread-winner by $46.00. Now, the soome family is always willing to do their part when it comes to paying taxes, but the return was filed in 2003, and no other notices had been sent. What the soome breadwinner cannot understand, is the $11.00 interest charge on the money that the soome bread-winner did not know he/she owed. In an unofficial report, other family members who filed their taxes during the crash have also be audited or have been asked for paper information--two received a larger refund. Keep up the good work Revenue Canada, and maybe one day you could look into collecting those big corporate taxes too.
