Okay.
Often comparisons are made between aggressive approaches that the CRA takes to obtain taxes owed from average Canadians, looking for low-hanging fruit, and there's little action taken against these offshore tax accounts.
Sorry, Chair, it's not a quick question.
Senator Percy Downe appeared recently. I'm going to quote him. He said:
Canadians are wondering why we have a two-tiered justice system for tax evasion. Try to cheat on your domestic taxes and the CRA will likely find you, charge you, convict you and force your repayment. Check their website and you'll see their results. Hide your money overseas and you likely will never be charged or convicted. Again, check their website and you'll see the results.
Why is it that way?
