As I have said multiple times since the meeting began, these are very complex cases.
I would ask my colleague not to act as if he doesn't understand simple things. If I were to interfere in criminal investigations, I would be before the committee being accused of exactly the opposite.

Mr. Chair, I would like to tell my colleague that if she wants to change the laws, the Minister of National Revenue is not who she should be talking to; it's the Minister of Finance. The Minister of Finance is who prepares the legislation. At the Canada Revenue Agency, we just apply it.

Mr. Chair, the CRA does not lose money every year fighting tax evasion. With the billion dollars that has been invested by our government, we have managed to recover $5 billion. Mr. Gallivan can provide all of the administrative information my colleague needs.

Mr. Chair, I would like to remind my colleague that when we came to power, we raised taxes for the richest people, but lowered them for the middle class. From the beginning, we were here to help, through the Canada child benefit and the guaranteed income supplement. We instituted measures to help Canadians before the pandemic and during the pandemic, and we are going to be here to help after the pandemic.
I can understand that tax evasion represents money lost, for my Conservative colleague, since it was never a priority for the Conservative government and fighting tax evasion is still not a priority for the Conservatives today.

Mr. Chair, in 2013‑14, the CRA did only 43 audits in connection with international tax evasion. For 2019‑20, 1,100 audits were done. My colleague said we are doing fewer audits. That is false.

I thank my colleague, who is also my parliamentary secretary, for his question.
Our government has invested over $1 billion in the Canada Revenue Agency. It actually had to organize an entire sector of the CRA so that, as I said, it could provide the resources and tools needed to be able to combat tax evasion. We had lost expertise. We have sought out people, we have signed agreements, country by country, and we are working with the OECD, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The CRA works at the international level. That is why it is so important to support the 2020‑21 budget. We are giving ourselves additional tools to ensure that the rules and the laws that enable us to take more effective action against tax evasion are tightened.

I thank my colleague for his question.
As I said, I can understand very well. I have enormous sympathy for the people who have been victims of fraud. I know how much this must affect them.
Out of respect for the obvious principles of judicial independence, I believe that politicians should never interfere in investigations.

Mr. Chair, it is completely false to say that the ultra-rich have been treated with kid gloves. At least, that is not how I will treat them, because I have absolutely no respect for the people who defraud the tax system.
I don't know what my colleague is trying to do, but if he thinks we are going to solve everything, I think he is naive, because this is a global problem. As I said a little earlier, the ultra-rich pay ultra-lawyers and ultra-tax experts and do everything in their power not to pay their fair share.
That is why it is so important for our government to give the CRA the resources and tools needed to carry out investigations, which are ongoing at present. We have not yet achieved the anticipated results, but I can tell you that the CRA has done its job. I congratulate it.

Mr. Chair, my colleague said that no investigation has been carried out, which is totally false. If he had listened to what Mr. Gallivan said, he would know that there are cases before the court as we speak. We have not yet achieved the anticipated results. It is not up to me to tell lawyers and the court whether they should proceed with a charge or not, because that is a completely independent process in which I do not intervene. What my colleague said is not true, and I urge him not to misinform the public.

Mr. Chair, I can tell you that tax evasion is particularly important to me, not just to me, but to our government as well. In fact, it is because it is so important to us that we have invested so much money in this program.
Mr. Chair, I urge the Conservatives to vote for the budget that has been introduced, to give us more tools that will have the effect of tightening the rules and combatting tax evasion.
