I can answer your question, Mr. Chair.
When motions are put, we seek only to have an opportunity to have a debate on them. The members across the way have tried to stifle that debate through the use of their majority to shut down any scrutiny of this matter.
Obviously tax evasion and tax avoidance are matters of great importance to Canadians. They have major impact on the revenues of the Government of Canada and on the fairness of our overall tax system. They shift the burden to middle-class people by allowing those who are well connected and wealthy to stash their cash where it's out of reach of the government, and their tax obligations go unsatisfied.
