Mr. Speaker, the six major Canadian banks have raked in a “mere” $5.3 billion in net profit over the past three months.
While the government is raiding the pockets of the unemployed, while it is wasting public money on doorbells and potted plants, the Minister of Finance is not even considering collecting from the banks.
His complacency toward tax havens allows them to avoid paying billions of dollars in taxes.
Why does the government not require the banks, these billionaires in times of recession, to pay their fair share of taxes?
