Madam Speaker, there were a number of questions to our Minister of National Revenue in the House over the last couple weeks around this issue.
She was abundantly clear, and I am actually going to quote her response. She said:
Let me be clear: tax evaders can no longer hide. We take this issue very seriously, and those who choose to participate in tax schemes will face consequences for their actions. Canadians expect no less.
It was the CRA that discovered the tax avoidance scheme that was set up by KPMG. It is now a case that is before the courts. We have already made a very strong statement through our Minister of National Revenue to say that tax evaders can no longer hide. We are going to be very aggressive. We have put a significant amount of money into our budget to tackle this.
I know that our minister and this government will not stop until every single tax evader is caught.
