I thank my colleague for her question.
To begin with, I would say that our government is the one that has decided to invest in fighting tax evasion and tax avoidance. The budgets allocated in 2016, 2017 and 2018 to fight tax avoidance and tax evasion amount to nearly $1 billion. Over the past two years, we’ve been working to create a structure that will allow us to fight tax evasion and tax avoidance.
Auditors are currently being hired. The Canada Revenue Agency is able to assess 100% of large multinationals. I would also like to thank the committee, which recommended tightening the rules regarding the voluntary disclosures program. That is being implemented. Thank you very much for your recommendations.
We have also targeted four countries a year, we work with the OECD, and we have signed more than 60 information disclosure agreements, country by country.
