Dear XXXXXXXXXX :
Thank you for your correspondence received on April 24, 2009, expressing your concern about the potential for confusion from the issuance of Form T1204, Government Service Contract Payments, for honoraria and expenses.
I understand that you spoke with Mr. Phil Jolie, Director of the Business and Partnership Division at the Income Tax Rulings Directorate, on May 28, 2009. He informed you that the Canada Revenue Agency is willing to consider whether any changes to the form's reporting instructions are necessary for situations similar to yours in which an individual performs volunteer services for a federal department or agency.
I appreciate your bringing your concerns to my attention.
Sincerely,
Jean-Pierre Blackburn, P.C., M.P.
