That's not true of any bureau. The CRA has been given special powers that allow them to apply their laws retro-actively was the point. It's much less common in other types of law.
The CRA also has far reaching powers of discovery. Them having access to the kind information they get is unparalled in other areas of law. For example, they can just pick people at random for an audit. In the criminal world, you would need warrants to get that kind of information. In civil law you'd need court orders.
My point was that the CRA acts very differently than just about any other regulatory body.
