Mr. Speaker, I want to ask my colleague about the fight against tax havens.
The throne speech references this and mentions their illegal use. In my opinion, the main problem is the legal use of tax havens, especially by the banks on Bay Street.
Is it not time to make illegal that which is immoral?
The government said it is open to co-operating. Is that an avenue for collaboration?

Mr. Speaker, as the member points out, there is a reference in the throne speech. I would remind the member across the way, as he was here in the last few years, that this government has invested close to a billion dollars in going after individuals who tried to avoid paying literally hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to ensure that those individuals are paying their fair share. This is something the government is committed to doing and has made reference to it. I can appreciate that the member across the way raised the issue.

Mr. Chair, I thank the minister for her answer, and I commend her for giving her answer in French.
Let us hope that the funds voted are indeed spent on first nations and that their governance is properly respected.
I will now move on to a question about the Canada Revenue Agency's budget. The document shows that its budget has not increased over the past two years. However, during the last parliamentary session, the Minister of Revenue kept telling us over and over again in the House that the CRA had invested $1 billion to combat tax evasion and that the net was tightening.
Where is the $1 billion that we kept hearing about?

Mr. Chair, I thank my hon. colleague. I am very happy to see him back in the House.
He is quite right to emphasize the importance of the CRA having the resources it needs to combat fraud and cheating, so that the Canadian tax system can recover the money from where it is hidden and so that Canadians may have confidence in the federal government's ability to do this very important fiscal work.
