Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to come back to Mr. Aylward.
I know that many members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada work within the CRA. We've heard from CRA employees at this committee that they have never been given the legislative tools and resources to really crack down on overseas tax havens, which we know cost us $25 billion in taxes every year. It's a national shame that gets far less media coverage than it should. We know about the billionaires with no wealth tax, and the huge profits for corporations with no excess profits tax.
Mr. Aylward, in your statement you referenced the growing inequalities that we're seeing in this country. How important is it to have in place a fair tax system where everybody pays their fair share so that we have the resources and wherewithal to provide supports to everybody in the country and we stop the growing gap between a very small number of very wealthy people and everybody else?
