What do you do what Revenu-Quebec isn’t doing it’s job? Who’s responsible (not the minister… management? Do we have the concept of responsibility within the system of Mandarins?)
It’s time that Revenu Quebec be required to publicly report openly on it’s activities so that we have a way to know if they are doing their job. Examples… report the number of “denonciations” that they have received and the percentage that were looked into. Then the amount of revenue from that, the amount paid out in finder’s fees. This doesn’t give out personal information, but does show if they are doing their job and where it’s working and where it isn’t. Without a report (I think quarterly) showing revenues, changes, etc. then how are we supposed to know that they are doing their job as they should.
Also, we need a report on the number of complaints, how fast they are handled, how many times people have had to go to their MNA or the ombudsman, how long that takes, etc. And a report on how much money they are holding in “unclaimed funds” and how many have been matched, etc.
Revenu-Quebec asks everyone else to make monthly, quarterly and annual reports and to produce them on time… I’m sure that they can manage to produce a few of their own.

Well said, Ephraim. For an agency that demands timely and thorough transparency from others it’s kind of shocking.
