Thank you.
On the question of the voluntary disclosure program in Canada, the last time it came up in Parliament I think it had to do with Mr. Mulroney's tax returns.
There have been some changes in Canada, as I understand. Are you aware of the arrangements under the voluntary disclosure program with regard to offshore amounts? No?
The website of the National Union of Public and General Employees makes the allegation that the government is allowing those with secret offshore bank accounts to disclose that fact without paying a penalty. They go on to say that auditors only go back a maximum of 10 years when determining the amount owed, but previously voluntary disclosure led to an assessment of penalties and interest that compounded over multiple decades.
Are you aware of changes in the government approach to dealing with those who have been found to be evading taxes? Would anyone like to comment?
