Over the past few months someone has been mailing evidence from criminal cases to taxpayers and ex-CRA employees in the Montreal area. Most people receiving these mailings assumed that an ex-CRA employee turned RCMP informant was the person behind this since that person was providing his social insurance number (SIN) along with other information…
However, since our July 25, 2014 posting mentioned that Yvon Talbot had sent hate mail to a now retired CRA team leader; people aren’t so sure anymore, they’re beginning to realize that it might be Yvon Talbot up to old tricks.
Then we heard about an audio recording making the rounds; a recording which is part of the evidence of a criminal case still to be tried by the courts. Someone had gotten hold of a recording of a taxpayer telling a wired informant that he’d been told that Talbot accepted a bribe: Here’s a transcript of just a small part of the recording:
TAXPAYER | J’ai entendu qu’il a demandé de l’argent avec un autre, j’ai entendu ça de Talbot. |
INFORMANT | Talbot? |
TAXPAYER | Oui. |
INFORMANT | Il doit de l’argent? Il a demandé de l’argent Talbot? Non. il a toujours dit non. |
TAXPAYER | Il a toujours dit non |
INFORMANT | Il aurait demandé de l’argent? |
TAXPAYER | Oui, à quelqu’un que j’ai parlé. |
INFORMANT | Quelqu’un que vous connaissez a parlé pis il vous a dit ça? Mais vous avez dû être surpris? |
TAXPAYER | Non je n’étais pas surpris, parce qu’avec moi aussi je pensais qu’il trouve quelque chose. |
INFORMANT | Que c’était possible de faire quelque chose? |
TAXPAYER | Jamais, jamais dit, il m’a dit: “O.K. bon. C’est quelle sorte d’arrangement, je voudrais payer, je pourrais te passer“. Mais c’est parce que ce n’est pas la vérité. Donnez-moi de la vérité… |
If you read the above transcript carefully: the taxpayer has been told by another person who had recently been audited by Mr. Talbot, that in that case Talbot accepted a bribe.
The taxpayer then goes on to claim that he wasn’t surprised to find out that Mr. Talbot was taking bribes because in his own audit Mr. Talbot was inflating audit results but never coming clean with honest figures… instead we learn that Mr. Talbot was imprecise about any arrangement always beating around the bush (probably waiting for the taxpayer to make an offer).
Later in the tape it is revealed that the taxpayer is talking about a case we reported to the Commissioner Canada Revenue Agency, Mrs. Linda Lizotte-MacPherson, nearly 2 years ago. Click here to see: October 30, 2012 – CRA promotes racism.
That letter to the then Commissioner speaks of a multi-million dollar tax proposal which had to be written off to zero because we were made to believe that Mr. Talbot had been very racist in his dealings with the taxpayer…
So CRA what will it be? Should Mr. Talbot be fired for being a racist (only about the 100th incident of racism by this same employee)? Or should he be fired for accepting a bribe?
Why do you stand up for an employee who lies on his T2020: Canlii case: Douville (Re), 2009 FC 986. http://www.canlii.org/eliisa/highlight.do?text=douville+revenue+canada&language=en&searchTitle=Search+all+CanLII+Databases&path=/en/ca/fct/doc/2009/2009fc986/2009fc986.html&searchUrlHash=AAAAAQAXZG91dmlsbGUgcmV2ZW51ZSBjYW5hZGEAAAAAAAAB
He lies to judges.
He’s even admitted on the stand to destroying evidence…
You need to fire Mr. Yvon Talbot (not promote him).
Is this what the conservatives had in mind when federal revenue minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay stated: “Our government is committed to cracking down on any misconduct by officials and cleaning up the situation at CRA”?
Mrs. Findlay: we are not impressed.
