What we are looking at is amendment after amendment that actually go against the points he's making. It really speaks to 3,000 amendments being strictly a stall, a delay tactic, really not serious in intent.
I hope when we do head into the tax haven study, which all of us are very keen to do, that we do it with the intent to have good accomplishments. To be quite frank, these are important measures in a budget implementation bill that are in there to close tax loopholes, and really it's quite, quite surprising that the Liberals are continuing to have amendments that go directly opposite of what he's suggesting.
I do need to talk a little in terms of the CRA and our work with the tax havens issue. In actual fact, the auditors who are specialized in overseas tax evasion haven't been reduced at all. They've been doing an excellent job and they've been refocused in terms of working with the RCMP and with the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. We really have picked up the ball that the Liberals left very.... I don't think they did much at all in all their years in office.
We've done tremendous work in terms of moving forward and we've certainly been lauded. Can we do more? Absolutely, but again, I think we really need to keep our dialogue tonight focused on what the actual amendments are to the proposed legislation.
