  • Re: Bill C-8 
Mr. Speaker, when it comes to health transfers, the government always tells us that it invested heavily during the pandemic. It is true that it invested heavily, but if it is short of money, it can always get some by cracking down on tax havens. Last spring, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see that the Minister of Finance appeared to be taking a firm stand against tax evasion in her budget. Since then, nothing, radio silence. There is nothing in Bill C‑8 that would allow us to go after the money in the places where it ends up. Can my colleague explain why tax havens are not mentioned in Bill C-8?
