Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance has been boasting for several years about playing a lead role on the international level to do away with tax havens.
The reality, however, is that since he took over in 1993, no action has been taken and more than $140 billion have been transferred from Canada to tax havens in the West Indies.
Could the minister stop giving us these fine speeches about his claimed role on the international scene, and instead play his role as the Minister of Finance for Canada and put an end to bilateral agreements with countries that are considered tax havens?
