Mr. Speaker, the hon. member well knows that the government believes in taxation which is fair, that we believe in people paying taxes and that we have over 70 tax treaties with other countries.
The member also knows that there are 1,700 companies working in Barbados and we have updated our tax treaties.
In 1995 we dealt with the anti-avoidance issue. We dealt in 1996 with foreign reporting requirements. In 1997 we dealt with the transfer cross-border issue. In 2002 we were dealing with foreign investment issues.
I find it interesting that this is a tiresome question which we have heard over and over again and the answer stays the same.
