I'm really glad you brought up Switzerland, because there was an article on February 16 from the Associated Press that talks about the Swiss government wanting to relax its demands on foreign countries that are seeking help to look into tax evasion situations. In fact, the country is looking at easing the rules because they're afraid, and it says right in the article:
The country has gradually eased its banking secrecy rules in recent years to avoid being blacklisted as an “uncooperative tax haven”.
I encourage you to continue to push. It sounds like they are willing to share because they know we're all talking about it and we're all looking at them as a potential tax haven that is doing damage to our countries.
In any event, Mr. Cockfield, you did an interview, and the Toronto Sun wrote about the interview and you're quoted as saying that:
...wealthy Canadians evading the taxman here by burying undisclosed assets and income in offshore accounts should be “quaking in their boots,”....
What did you mean by that?
