Madam Speaker, $444 million over five years is interesting, but it has to be understood in the context of the Conservatives cutting 3,000 positions. Where is the beef? I want to know, in the last year since the Liberals did that, how many people they have put in jail. I would like to see how many prosecutions have been undertaken.
The Liberals think that by having a bunch of entry level people somehow they will be able to go after the people who have the sophistication of international tax firms like KPMG that have no trouble showing people how to hide money, or fancy law firms with experts in tax law that manage to find ways around the rules. Do members think they are going after those people? I do not see it. I see fancy ads in the Globe and Mail, and sponsored content in the Financial Post, but what I do not see is the political will.
I love the rhetoric. I give the government full marks as the Liberal government is great at rhetoric, but I want to see action.
