My name is Brigitte Alepin and I am an expert on fiscal policy and public finance. I've written books on this topic. My presentation is meant to give you a very brief overview of who I am.
I am a chartered accountant by training. I have a master's degree in taxation from the University of Sherbrooke and a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University. With my team's help, I have conducted major studies on some of the most complex topics in fiscal policy and public finance. These topics include energy taxation, e-commerce, tax havens, the environmental crisis and the health care system. These studies have yielded concrete results that are now reflected in the Canadian tax systems.
I wrote the well-known book Ces riches qui ne paient pas d'impôts, a best-seller in Quebec. My second book, La crise fiscale qui vient, will be available in bookstores on February 7, 2011.
Thank you.
