Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I'm just going to turn up my volume, pump up the jam, as they say.
Thank you so much, Mr. Ste-Marie. Thank you for your presentation today.
Mr. Lawrence actually started on the track that I was going to go on.
In your original comments, when you introduced this bill in the House, you talked about how this law would enable Quebec to fight more effectively against the use of tax havens. For the record, I want to dispute your next comment here, that Ottawa is dragging its feet in that regard.
I will tell you that Davenport residents, the people of my riding, really care about people paying their fair share of taxes. They get very angry when they start hearing about tax havens. I will tell you that I was very proud of our government for putting over $400 million, I believe, within the first year of our being in office, to fight these tax havens and to fight those who are trying to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. We've actually increased it to over $1 billion now. We did that, Mr. Ste-Marie, because it has actually been effective. I know the Minister of National Revenue is very passionate about this issue, and I don't want to do a disservice to her and the amazing team of people who are working very hard on this.
I didn't hear an answer in terms of how Quebec is going to be more effective on its own against the use of tax havens. Perhaps I'll give you a few minutes to tell me how you think you can be more effective, and then I have another question for you.
