In the area of taxation, for some time now the Government of Canada has not entered into taxation agreements with countries that will not share information with us. We have made that a prerequisite of entering into tax agreements.
We are having an increase in the number of taxation information exchange agreements being entered into by the Government of Canada. I just signed one recently with the Netherlands Antilles on behalf of our government.
I take your point, Mr. Laforest, about the importance of the countries following the G-20 mandate, which is clear, to refrain from encouraging tax havens. The key to that is ensuring an exchange of information. We've seen some significant progress on this, I must say, since the G-20 discussions on the subject this past year.
