Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good afternoon. My question is for Mr. Lee, but I would also like to hear Mr. Hodgson's opinion.
Mr. Lee, in your opening presentation, you said that your organization had chosen 2008 as the year to reduce poverty. Do you have any idea of the magnitude of the financial losses that the federal government is incurring because of tax havens? These amounts could be used to fight poverty, if we were to eliminate these tax havens. Do you have an idea of the amount of money at stake?
To my mind, the fight against poverty and tax havens are totally contradictory. Tax havens serve those who have a lot of money. If we are to fight poverty, we should make attacking these types of situations a priority.
