Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to complete the question I was asking earlier. Every business, when it fills out the T2 form in its income tax return, mentions its shareholders and owners. So it is easy for officials to know who owns which business and to trace it back to the owner of the parent company. If the parent company has assets in tax havens, you can get the information.
First, Madam Minister, does the Canada Revenue Agency maintain a list of the companies that use tax havens?
Second, have you considered using this list to ensure that those receiving government assistance are not companies that use tax havens?
It's not complicated, just take the list and check the information on the T2 form to see if the company uses tax havens or not.
