I say this as a citizen because I'm not really an expert in this field.
You’re absolutely right, Mr. Julian, that we’re going to need incredible amounts of money over the next few years.
The energy transition and the green transition will be expensive, and major public investments will have to be made. We have learned that there are holes in which huge amounts of money are completely buried and that, in addition, we don't have the necessary means to go after them. In my opinion, we need to do everything we can to remedy this situation. I think that all kinds of organizations, such as the Canadians for Tax Fairness group and the Collectif Échec aux paradis fiscaux, have a series of solutions. Read their documents, read what they advocate. I don’t have time to explain it in a few minutes, but it’s all there.
You also have experts at the Canada Revenue Agency who are able to find solutions. We really need to address this problem as quickly as possible, because we have an urgent and considerable need for money. We are making a significant transition, and we need all our money to do that.
The situations you mentioned, Mr. Julian, must not happen again, and it is the responsibility of elected officials to ensure this.
