Good afternoon, everyone. Mr. Chair, as you can see, I wore my tie, as promised.
Canada has spent a great deal of money to help businesses affected by the pandemic. Everyone agrees on this. We're talking about $73 billion in wage subsidies alone. A number of countries have done the same thing, including Denmark. Denmark helps businesses, but the businesses that have put money in tax havens don't qualify for help from the government.
My question is very straightforward. Why aren't we doing the same thing as Denmark? Why aren't we telling businesses that use tax havens that they don't qualify for help from the government?
