Mr. Chair, sometimes a bank will relocate its most profitable activities carried out in Canada and register them in a subsidiary in the Bahamas, Barbados or another tax haven.
Does the Prime Minister consider this bank to be paying its fair share of taxes in Canada?

Mr. Chair, we will assess applications for the large employer emergency funding facility on a case-by-case basis. We don't expect the big banks to need these funds. Before we provide any money, we're going to make sure that whoever wants to access these funds is transparent about how the money is being managed, including internationally.

Thank you. In your speech, you also said that there has been a temporary suspension of the vast majority of audits.
What about the 50 investigations of companies using tax havens? Have these investigations also been suspended?

I can tell you that these investigations are ongoing. When we talk about audits, we're talking about the regular work that is done on a daily basis. It's part of the agency's work.
With regard to the audits, if you want more technical details, one of the officials in charge could answer your question.

I just wanted to know if the investigations had been stopped; thank you.
I'd like to continue on the topic of tax havens. I know it's a hot topic. People want to understand what's going on. You recently said that $1 billion was invested to counter these tax havens.
How much money has the government been able to recover through this investment? It invested $1 billion. How much money did you ultimately recover?

Thank you. Initially, the money invested was also used for organization, to put in place and consolidate the tools our public servants use. This made it possible to hire auditors and rebuild an expertise that had been taken away from us by the previous government, for which this was not a priority.

As the minister mentioned, we have a lot of cases, over 3,000, before the courts. A lot of these audits are going to end up in court. However, we have already recovered, in gross figures, $4.4 billion, and we are several years ahead of our projections.

Thank you Mr. Chair.
I have a very brief question for you, Minister. I'm an accountant by training, and when I worked in accounting offices, we had organizational charts that explained the structure of a company and who owned it.
On their T2 return, on which they report their income, I'm sure that businesses indicate whether they own another corporation. So the Revenue Agency knows that one business owns another. From that, it is therefore quite possible for the Agency to know who uses tax havens and who does not, since it...

I'm assuming that through the good work of the CRA and through your investigations, honourable minister, you ought to have a list.
Are you going to use the list of tax havens to draw up a list of companies that will not be eligible for credits to the large companies, and if so, what is this list and which tax havens are mentioned in it by country?

Among other measures we've taken in recent years, we have been working with the OECD. We assess four countries a year and exchange information. Our goal remains the same: to have everyone pays their fair share.
The Agency is only responsible for administering the programs. With respect to the creation of the programs and their eligibility criteria, Minister Morneau will be in a much better position to answer you. We have listened to the concerns of our colleagues and Canadians and we will continue to work to find solutions.

As do we. It doesn't have to be as complicated as is being presented here today.
You frame these benefits specifically in terms of tax convictions, yet we know that most of these are structured settlements that happen in a civil matter outside of the public eye, probably in non-disclosure protected deals. By a simple yes or no, aside from the companies that are found guilty of tax evasion, will companies or their subsidiaries that use these tax savings to legally but, I would argue, irregularly pay less tax be eligible for the millions of dollars in the large business credit?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to complete the question I was asking earlier. Every business, when it fills out the T2 form in its income tax return, mentions its shareholders and owners. So it is easy for officials to know who owns which business and to trace it back to the owner of the parent company. If the parent company has assets in tax havens, you can get the information.
First, Madam Minister, does the Canada Revenue Agency maintain a list of the companies that use tax havens?
Second, have you considered using this list to ensure that those receiving government assistance are not companies that use tax havens?
It's not complicated, just take the list and check the information on the T2 form to see if the company uses tax havens or not.
