Madam Speaker, I can understand that the Conservatives want to create legal loopholes for the wealthy through their legislation, but why are they protecting the tax evaders? In this bill they have only touched upon going after tax evaders who use places like the Cayman Islands or Switzerland to hide their money from the Canadian tax man.
My question to the member is this. Why have we not been given sufficient time to discuss this issue in the legislation and to go after tax evaders? Why are they protecting tax evaders and what penalties do they intend to use in their small makeshift measures against tax evasion? What penalties are they going to impose and how are they going to enforce them in places like Cayman Islands and Switzerland?
