“If you are the CRA, and you’re auditing a taxpayer, to some extent, you’re a blind man exploring an elephant,” says Rotfleisch. “They can assume facts. The reason being that they don’t know the facts. We are in possession of all of the facts because they’re coming in and auditing us and investigating us. They don’t entirely know what happened, so they are allowed to make assumptions in their pleadings.”
