It's certainly been a problem, not just for the current government, but for successive governments, unfortunately. We've seen a lot of people in power very closely connected to tax havens. Paul Martin was closely associated with them. We had policies under the Harper government that expanded this loophole for tax information exchange agreements, which allowed further tax avoidance.
Unfortunately, it's been a recurring problem in Canada that a lot of very powerful people have been very closely associated with the issue of tax havens. This is why we need transparency on this issue more than ever. It's so we can really see who exactly is benefiting from this and what we can do to close these loopholes.
