House and bankruptcy

I own a house. I just spoke to a Real Estate Agent and he told me it is worth between $45,000 and $50,000.
My current mortgage is about $25,000. Is it better to keep the house or turn it over to my trustee? My debts are $35,000 not including the mortgage.

Tax debt and CRA`s ability to seize bank accounts

I owe quite a bit of back taxes. However, I was wondering if before declaring bankruptcy is there a minimum amount of money which I am allowed to keep (i.e. can CRA seize all of the money in my bank account even if the result is that it will put me on the street)?
