I don't think that an agreement like this makes it possible to set clear rules. Nothing in this agreement would suggest this possibility. In fact, all that we know about tax havens is that they enable people to engage in large-scale tax evasion and avoidance—especially avoidance. I have studied this agreement and found no provisions that could help address the issue of tax havens in a new, different way.
Mr. Laforest talked about the Panamanian representative's testimony and about his closed attitude toward information exchange. However, it's absolutely necessary to fight against tax havens, against tax evasion and avoidance. Therefore, I fail to see how this agreement could help address the tax haven issue with new, more stringent controls.
