Mr. Speaker, in the first budget tabled by the Liberals after they came into power in 1993, the former finance minister said, “Certain Canadian corporations are not paying an appropriate level of tax.

Indeed, measures were taken, but rather to promote tax avoidance and the use of tax havens, particularly the one where the former finance minister had interests.
What is the government waiting for to implement the measures announced nine years ago?
