Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Xuereb, in the earlier panel we had today, testimony a couple of times referred to the fox guarding the henhouse. This was in reference to the fact that, for example, in Canada the Prime Minister had formerly been the chair of Brookfield, a company that your organization has identified as one of the leading tax avoiders through the use of offshore tax havens. His financial disclosure leaves one to conclude that his so-called blind trust, maybe closer to a Venetian blind trust, would contain long-term interests in Brookfield.
Do you agree that Canada is a country that does suffer from this phenomenon of the fox guarding the henhouse when it comes to offshore tax avoidance?
