This policy was announced in 2020, money was committed in 2023, and is currently listed in the CRA website as an invitation-only pilot program.

I agree with the specifics of your statement: three months isn't enough time for CRA to spin up a new program. Seven years is entirely too long to implement an announced policy.

Maybe it's a good idea to make sure the kinks are all worked out before public rollout?

They might have actually learned from this:

Like I say, I agree that rolling it out when it's ready makes sense. If that's 2027, so be it.

Taking seven years to implement an administrative process seems entirely too long.

I’m also thinking about the massive CRA data breach for electronic filers - it’s not a decade since that happened.
