Thank you for that.
I flagged the government announcement of just a few days ago as well. They don't have the money or the resources to ensure that indigenous communities have safe drinking water—dozens of communities have poisonous water—and the government continues to pretend that it just doesn't have the resources to handle these issues.
I think you've pointed out an important point from the use of the wage subsidy. We've had companies that have used that subsidy for dividends, stock buybacks and big executive bonuses.
The government is saying that it is dealing with overseas tax havens—and I'd like to come back to that—which the PBO estimates cost us over $25 billion every year. CRA officials told this committee just a few months ago that they don't have the legislative framework to even tackle the widespread tax evasion that we're seeing through the use of overseas tax havens.
What could the government be doing to tackle, in a serious way the chronic blight on Canada of $25 billion a year going to overseas tax havens rather than being used to meet the needs of people in our country?
