I have another question, Mr. Minister. I'll come back to my image, which many have shared: I have the impression that you are a funny fisherman who keeps the small fish and throws the big ones back in the lake.
As for the use of tax evasion and tax havens, your party voted in favour of the NDP motion to address tax avoidance issues in tax havens, which Statistics Canada states costs us about $8 billion a year in taxes and in unpaid taxes in Canada, which is considerable.
However, we don't understand why you signed a new agreement, for example, with the Cook Islands, which have a 0% corporate tax rate. So things are moving in the same direction as in previous years.
A lot of people are telling us that a change could simply be made to subsection 95(1) of the Income Tax Act and section 5907 of the Income Tax Regulations to ensure that income that returns to Canada following a deposit or transfer to a tax haven can be taxed and to collectively return money to pay for our social programs or infrastructure, among other things.
Why are you refusing to go in that direction?
