Mathew Englinder posted an interesting story on David Fraser's blog about the Canada Revenue Agency's right to access personal banking information. As he said in his message to me:
"Basically the CRA had a bank account number and asked TD who owned the account. TD refused to tell them, so CRA went to court. The FCA agreed with TD that the particular provision of the Income Tax Act did not allow CRA to force the bank to disclose the name of the individual in this case. I summarized the case for David Fraser's blog"
