Mr. Speaker, it would be great if the government would start focusing on tax collection from those who are putting their money into offshore tax havens.
The reality is Australia is doing a better job than the Conservative government in terms of cracking down on tax evasion. It created Project Wickenby to fight the illegal use of tax havens. It has collected hundreds of millions of dollars of lost revenues as a result. It has charged 67 people and convicted 26.
Why will the government not follow the Australian government's lead and actually crack down on tax evaders who use these tax havens?
