Why would anyone think this was abnormal ?
Indeed. My CPA is a former IRS auditor. That's why I've worked with him for some 15 years.

So, you guys don't think that hiring a senior CRA official at the same time that the CRA is investigating the company is at all unusual?
If nothing else, it's politically suspect.
Suspect, yes. Unusual, no. The Cons gutted the CRA, didn't seem interested in collecting taxes. The Libs are talking a good game, but my guess is that's all it will be.
Another reason I was disliking Harper's strategy. Why gut one of the few revenue positive ministries?

Are you really that naive ?
So many go from the Ministry to private business, and the other way around.
Follow any middle - senior official in government, they all wind up in a business
or pressure groups. The health industry is particularly good at this.
My tax guy; the bottom half of his graduating class are in government Ministries.
They all know each other, all friends.
Can you figure the rest out ?

Martin, I work in Government. Department of Finance, to be exact. Many other departments in the past. I see public sector hiring good government people all the time. And government does the same to them.
But a company under investigation usually has better sense than to hire one of the people doing the investigation! Can you not see the conflict of interest here?

I didn't see anything in the article about a current investigation.
Besides, they normally have to wait at least one year... officially.
