Canada Revenue Agency accused of "misleading" Canadians on its fight against tax evasion.
"The CRA are up to their old tricks of trying to mislead Canadians, this time in response to the latest leak of tax haven information," Sen. Percy Downe, a Liberal-appointed senator who now sits as an Independent, said in a statement issued Tuesday. Downe referred to the CRA's assertion of a "billion-dollar investment" to combat tax evasion in the two most recent budgets, and said the agency had in fact spent less than $40 million of that money. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2017/11/07/paradise-papers-canada-losing-billions-more-than-estimated-to-offshore-tax-havens_a_23269548/ X
