Thank you so much, Mr. Chair, and thanks to everyone for this important conversation.
My first questions are actually for Mr. Cochrane.
Mr. Cochrane, I think you would get most Canadians to agree that tax fairness is important, not only to people in my riding of Davenport but to Canadians right across the country. It's one of the top issues we all talk about.
Just based on the conversation today, I'm not quite sure if you know this. Our federal government, since we were elected, has spent over $1 billion to fight tax evasion or to close down tax loopholes. Did you know that we've committed that money and that we've been spending it?
