Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, gentlemen, for being here today.
My questions are going to revolve a little bit around foreign direct investment and how those things are tracked. As someone who's involved with SMEs and doesn't have a whole lot of options in being able to worry about different tax jurisdictions--I mean, I pretty much have to pay my taxes here in Canada and I don't have much opportunity to invest in foreign countries.
My concern is this. When we look at tax haven investments, I think one of the things that always got my goat was CSL, and the fact that this was a Canadian company owned by a Canadian prime minister who was flying a flag of convenience for tax purposes, for how we deal with labour laws and getting around some of those things. How do we determine what are tax avoidance methods versus more tangible investments in companies? Obviously there are people investing in other countries for different issues, but there's certainly a huge issue when it comes to Canada, with people parking their corporations offshore just to avoid taxes. Do you have any comments on that?
