Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Minister, and officials.
When we started several months ago looking at tax avoidance and tax planning mechanisms, whether it was for organizations or for individuals, and entering into and looking at various issues around the income tax system, it was apparent that we needed to ensure that Canadians had full confidence in their tax system and that they weren't subsidizing people who were entering into tax avoiding schemes, tax avoiding measures, or aggressive tax planning.
Minister, I was wondering if you could give us a broad update of what our government has been doing and what measures you've undertaken over the last several months to ensure that Canadians have confidence in the tax system.
