Context\n[3] In the spring of 2023, the Minister sought the Federal Court’s authorization to impose a requirement on Shopify to provide information regarding certain persons who use Shopify’s software platform to sell products and services online.\n[4] Because the Minister did not know the persons’ names—rather, he wanted to obtain this and other information about them—the Minister turned to subsections 231.2(3) of the Income Tax Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Supp.) and 289(3) of the Excise Tax Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. E-15. These identically worded provisions provide that a Federal Court judge may authorize the requirement if the judge is satisfied that (a) there is an ascertainable group, and (b) the requirement is made to verify the tax",
