The Protecteur du Citoyen claims Revenue Quebec acts in an abusive manner, and the Finance Cabinet confirms it will get Revenue Quebec to behave more properly from now on!

Despite the recent Quebec Court of Appeal judgement against the Picotte-Marineau family (Système Intérieur GPBR v. l'Agence du Revenu du Quebec), (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court will be filed), it appears that taxpayers are simply winning the battle anyways.

Indeed, the Protecteur du Citoyen continues to support Québec's entrepreneurs by taking a stand against abuses committed by some of Revenue Québec agents. See report here.

"Dans ces dossiers, le Protecteur du citoyen constate le recours à des méthodes de vérification inadéquates, voire abusives, et le refus de Revenu Québec de considérer des éléments venant étayer les explications que fournissent les entreprises."

"Dans certains cas, les vérificateurs ont ignoré ces documents ou ne leur ont accordé aucune valeur probante, et ce, sans raison autre que l’existence supposée d’un stratagème. Le Protecteur du citoyen dénonce vivement ces pratiques qui sont contraires aux principes d’équité procédurale et qui affectent sérieusement la santé financière des entreprises visées.
"

In addition, following the submission of the report of the Protector, Finance Minister Leitao want to end these unacceptable acts. See article in the newspaper Le Soleil here, the statement of the Minister of Finance here, and excellent radio interview with the Minister Leitao by Radio-Canada First (from the 11th minute.).
