Public Accounts Committee

2012 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System

11:00 am

Mr. Martin Callinan:

It did, in a limited number of cases. I should qualify what I am saying. I am not excusing it. The Deputy is absolutely right to say it occurred. Of course it did. That screen does not give the complete picture. One has to go behind that screen to find out why the cancellations occurred. It is true that documentation was not available in all cases. That is an accepted fact. That is what the assistant commissioner exposed in his report. There is nobody hiding anything here.
