Mr. Speaker, our government has made it a priority to combat tax fraud in Canada and abroad.
Our investments in the CRA have been successful in combatting tax evasion. Last year, the CRA performed 1,463 audits related to international tax evasion, which represents 1,679 taxpayers, compared to the 43 audits conducted in 2013-14.
Our government's historic investments of over $1 billion have given the CRA the tools it needs to do its job, and we are starting to see the results.
