Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
With recent announcements, I think it's generally felt that by targeting only those convicted of tax evasion, the government is setting the bar far too low and is still letting public money go to companies that use offshore tax havens and funnel resources to tax-sheltered jurisdictions with public money.
To the hon. minister responsible for CRA, will companies under investigation with regard to the Panama Papers and the Paradise Papers still be eligible for the large business credit, yes or no?

I would say that your question is too complex to be answered with a yes or no answer. What I can say, though, is that all the programs we put in place really serve to protect the workers and employees of companies, regardless of who their employer is. I can assure you that we continue to fight against companies that use these stratagems.

I can certainly appreciate folks wanting to evade their taxes, but I want to make sure we don't evade the question.
How many companies and taxpayers disclosed in the Paradise Paper cases have been convicted of tax evasion?

I'm sorry, Mr. Chair.
As I was telling you, Mr. Green, this type of case is complex because people use very sophisticated schemes. We will continue to protect employees, no matter who they work for. My goal is really to make sure that Canadians have money to pay for their groceries and their housing. Companies that use schemes will be prosecuted and held accountable. That could go as far as jail time.
