Mr. Speaker, it appears the hon. member and I share a passion regarding tax evasion. As the critic for national revenue, I had the opportunity to write an Order Paper question on the matter of high-net-worth individuals, people who have wealth over $50 million. It is clear the Prime Minister wants to make it look like he is taking action on tax evasion while he continues to protect the wealthiest among us.
Despite the CRA's over 6,000 audits, and an increase of almost 3,000% in funding for its program expenditures, there have been no criminal prosecutions and consequently no convictions of millionaires who are not paying their fair share. Could the hon. member expand on the ways in which the ultrawealthy in this country continue to cheat Canadians out of their fair share of taxes?
