This creates a situation
where honest and capable Canadian companies cannot compete for contracts
with companies such as SNC that bribe and have direct access to the PMO
Jimmy Moore
@Benjamin Twine A company
that has only 900 jobs in Quebec at maximum and 8700 in all of Canada,
not worth saving when they got caught giving out more than 130 million
in bribes in Lybia alone
Richard Sharp
@Benjamin Twine
What a disgusting post, suggesting SNC has greater access to the PMO or government generally and is tabouret, when all the evidence proves demonstrably the opposite is the case.

@Richard Sharp Get off your

his staffers. Wernick was taking calls from Mr.Lynch and so on.

More dishonest journalism coming from the CBC again, the headlines read "Why many Quebecers want SNC-Lavalin to stand trial — despite warnings about jobs" how many is "many Quebers" twelve, two dozen, 50 , a hundred. This is dishonest news speaks , the same news speak Fox News uses when the start an false accusation with " some people say".

In many corrupt democracies and dictatorships, FAILING to comply to a request for a bribe will get you shown the door.

I want to see SNC-Lavallin prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
The board of directors at the time of the (alleged) crimes should he prosecuted as they are legally responsible for the actions of their company.
Once boards of directors begin to go to jail, corporate behavior will improve immediately.

for immigrants who don't understand this country and they all say oh

government who get to keep all the taxes.
Jimmy Moore
@Richard Riel Yes 85% of
which are all on welfare now that we have to pay for, and will be for
several generations, we are still dealing with both Jamaica, Haitian,
and Somalian refugees who as much as 40 years later in some cases entire
families still on social assistance for generations.

@Jimmy Moore Better yet by
including chimpanzees an gorillas they never mix and imagine people of
different priorities is just the same path of divisive and infighting
and it makes it easier for anybody with dirty money to control the
masses.

@Jimmy Moore For politicians a
vote is a vote., no matter how they proceed. Government in Canada have
no responsibility toward the system just as long as they get and keep a
stronghold of taxes it is good enough for controlling the system and the
cashflow to funnel upwards and out of the system, Why is our deficit
increasing and no return on our taxes, ask yourself that question.

@James Holden corruption in the end hurts everyone. Countries that tolerate
corruption ultimately lose investments to country where there is rule of
law. Canada has traditionally had an excellent reputation and you
only need to look at poor state of Venezuelans to see the price folks
pay when there is no respect for the constitution and corruption
abounds. We should not be concerned about SNC's employees - they will
have jobs at SNC or another firm. The damage to SNC has also largely
been done - many companies and governments stopped doing business with
them in 2015 when these charges were first announced. Best thing
would to get on with the criminal prosecution.

That is no different than the Cons going to the USA and cheering for the US government over Canada in NAFTA negotiations. How totally absurd. What about innocent employees, pensioners, suppliers, shareholders?

@Richard Sharp Oh well thats
life..innocent people get hurt all the time. How about all those
innocent workers in the oil patch that got laid off..I didnt see Justin
or anyone come to rescue them..or the Sears workers..and on and on. Why
is SNC so special? Its because they have a very powerful lobby. Only 15
percent of their revenues are from government contracts..they wont go
bankrupt if they are banned for 10 years. 9000 jobs will not be
lost..maybe 1000 or so but thats life..many of these employees
unfortunately are being paid with dirty money.

If there is nothing the gov. can do to save a job in fossil fuels, or Sears, if their time is done, so be it. But if their is something the gov. can do to save a job, why not ? It’s like you’re saying “ Since Mr. Tarsand died of cancer, we shouldn’t give Mr. SNC a measles vaccine “. Am I correct ?

@Garry Horsnell,
If the gov. can save a job, why not ?And for the record a DPA for them would not be special treatment when compared to what the USA or UK do in similar circumstances. Other countries do not go out of their way to stop their companies from getting foreign contracts, even in situations where bribes are the norm. How else would a Canadian company get a contract in Lybia. I mean if we are going to sell jeeps to Saudi Arabia anyways, why the fuss here ?

Quebecers like most Canadians
want the government to make Canadian citizens their first and utmost
priority. Canadians are not being treated this way by our current
Liberals government, which caters to everyone except the people who
built Canada. This will be reflected by Quebecers and all Canadians in
the 2019 Federal Election.

oh please - - how many 'quebecers' do you think CBC actually contacted.... and note: not so many 'Canadians' [being other people] are stirred up by the SNC story even with the heapings of daily headlines and non-stop TV coverage of tablold.
Question - interesting, eh - that the real elephant in the room is not touched by antyone - the tabloid wild media or the ramped up attack Scheer party: that the catalyst for all JWR attack is that when a shuffle was necessary - she was offended to be offered, as one of the leaders of indigenous affairs in Canada...she was offended to be offered position of MInister of Indigenous Services - so she could serve to make all the promised changed there..... She was offended... and then she got bitter mad. And she rejected the job. She refused. She wouldn't step up at that time for the Cabinet, for her people, or for the country. She'd fought all her life against the 'Indian Act and she was - astonishingly - darn well not going to step into making real change to change it.
It's btw, part of the record. But it isn't part of the news. Covering this part of the JWR truth would throw a whole monkey wrench into the runaway smear tabloid news which is doing so much for media ratings if not as much as hoped for for Scheer and Singh.
You ok with this? YOu don't want better information from the publicly funded public broadcaster?

Throughout this entire
affair, no one has presented any evidence that jobs were at stake. SNC
is thought to have about $30 billion worth of work on it's books. SNC
might have been the trigger but the whole brouhaha has been about
nothing more than Liberal votes and campaign donations. The one thing
that has become abundantly clear is that the country needs a federal
leader overhaul.

If SNC didn’t want the heat,
all it had to do was not use bribery as a business tool (McGill
University Medical Centre, Jacques Cartier Bridge, Libya, Bangladesh,
etc).
If shareholders and the Caisse were worried about pensions and their investments, then don’t sink money into a company with a decades long history of corruption.
One law for Canada: Prosecute!

Well, the problem with the politicians is easily solved, isn't it? When a politician has shown that he or she has violated the law, or the ethical standards that Canadians can expect, then that one should not vote for that politician. The real problem is that we have far too many political partisans whose mottoes seems to be, "I must support my party whether it is right or wrong," and "my party may not be perfect, but the other guys are much worse."

Why many Quebecers want SNC-Lavalin to stand trial — despite warnings about jobs
Support for a deferred prosecution agreement is strong in Quebec, but far from unanimous
With its strip malls, single-family homes and Tim Hortons drive-thrus, the northwest suburbs of Quebec City are a far cry from the boardroom of SNC-Lavalin in downtown Montreal.
The fate of the embattled engineering firm is also far from the minds of most people loading groceries into their cars at the aptly named Espace le Fleuron, a shopping centre in the Les Rivières borough.
"It's a shame for the employees who work there, who are honest," said Claire Lajeunesse, "but we've been hearing about SNC-Lavalin for so long already."
The word "fleuron," translated as "ornamental flower," is used in Quebec to describe homegrown companies that have risen to international prominence.
When it comes to SNC-Lavalin, the flower has wilted in the eyes of many. The company is at the centre of a political scandal that has engulfed the Prime Minister's Office.
Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould says Justin Trudeau and his aides used inappropriate pressure to try to persuade her to strike a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with SNC-Lavalin.
The agreement would have the firm pay a fine instead of facing a criminal trial on federal fraud and bribery charges.
Lajeunesse says that would be unfortunate, but if it comes down to deciding between justice and jobs, she falls on the side of justice.
'Quebec is not a brick'
It's a sentiment Conservative MP Gérard Deltell says he's been hearing more and more from constituents in his riding of Louis-Saint-Laurent, which encompasses Espace le Fleuron.
"If you look at the newspaper people, most of them are on the side of SNC-Lavalin, but that's not the reality on the ground," Deltell said, referring to what he sees as a disconnect between voters and the province's columnists.
"We're talking about a business that has a long history of corruption," he said, pointing to SNC-Lavalin's involvement in the McGill University Health Centre superhospital scandal.
"When people are saying, 'Quebec thinks that,' it's not true," he said, arguing that Quebecers' views vary greatly on the issue. "Quebec is not a brick."
The Conservative MP also takes issue with those in Quebec who think the so-called "rest of Canada" is using the scandal to beat up on the province.
"This is not Quebec bashing," Deltell said. "This is the law we want to be respected."
Part of the reason Deltell can take such a strong tone against one of Quebec's most powerful companies may hinge on his comfortable position within his own riding.
In the 2015 federal election, he won more votes than all other candidates combined.
But it may also reflect the disparity in views between Montreal and the rest of the province regarding the fate of SNC-Lavalin.
A Mainstreet poll, conducted before Wilson-Raybould's testimony at the Commons justice committee, suggested Quebecers' opinion of the corporation varied by region, with support for a trial significantly higher in Quebec City than in Montreal.
Skepticism in Quebec City suburbs
Jules Bourgeois has lived in Lévis, the city that lies across the St. Lawrence River south of Quebec City, for the past 40 years.
He says the company should be held to the same standards as the average citizen.
The retired autoworker says the issue has been a topic of conversation at the local McDonald's.
"I think it's about time we put justice in the front end," he said.
The province is already dealing with an acute labour shortage, with a historically low unemployment rate in 2018.
"In a situation of full employment, I wonder how relevant that argument is," he said, noting that many of the workers are highly skilled engineers. "Everyone's looking for good employees."
Lacasse says he wouldn't have been opposed to the idea of a deferred prosecution agreement for SNC-Lavalin had it been handled differently.
Liberal MP says constituents 'very open' to DPA
Across the river in the riding of Louis-Hébert, Liberal MP Joël Lightbound admits the issue of deferred prosecution could have been better explained to the public, but says, on substance, his constituents back the prime minister's actions and are open to remediation rather than prosecution.
"The questions I've been getting are, 'Why isn't this used?'" he said, referring to a DPA.
The Quebec CIty MP also questioned whether Wilson-Raybould took enough time to consider an alternative to a criminal trial.
Lightbound's riding runs alongside portions of Deltell's, but he says he hasn't seen an appetite for throwing the book at SNC-Lavalin, even if voters believe the company may have done wrong.
"What comes up a lot is, 'Why should all the employees have to pay for the wrongdoings of the few?'" he said.
Lightbound also cautions those who think job losses could be easily absorbed by a hot economy, pointing to the potential for impact on investments and retiree pensions.
"It's not as simple as that," he said.
Justice over jobs
Driving into Drummondville, a mid-sized city on the road between Quebec City and Montreal, factories line the highway, some sporting "Nous Embauchons," ("We're Hiring") banners.
"It's always possible to find another job," Diane Bérubé said of potential job losses at SNC-Lavalin should the company be prosecuted and convicted.
The retired mother of two says jobs should be protected, but not at any cost.
"Sometimes you're better to lose your job and walk upright than to keep your job and live with remorse," she said.
Federally, she's leaning Conservative but draws a blank when searching for the name of the party's leader, Andrew Scheer.
Across the street in front of the Saint-Frédéric church, which recently was named a basilica, Dorian Michaud, 62, chips away at a thick sheet of ice coating the steps.
"Jobs are very important, and we shouldn't hurt people when we don't have to, but justice means justice for all," he said.
Michaud says he'll stick with incumbent NDP MP François Choquette, but shares Bérubé's feelings that SNC-Lavalin is not too big to fail.
"There shouldn't be a double standard," he said. "Justice has to follow its course."

Jody Wilson-Raybould, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of
Canada, seen in the foyer of the House of Commons, in Parliament in
Ottawa on June 20, 2018. File photo by Alex Tétreault
Former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould angered senators by
refusing to give testimony on a change to the Criminal Code that is now
at the centre of allegations that she was improperly pressured to help
SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution.
The Criminal Code amendment was stuffed into an omnibus budget implementation bill last year and got little scrutiny from MPs on the House of Commons finance committee.
But when it got to the Senate, the upper chamber's legal and
constitutional affairs committee was tasked with scrutinizing the
provision, which allows prosecutors to negotiate remediation agreements,
a kind of plea bargain, in cases of corporate corruption.
The committee held extensive hearings last May and heard from an array of expert witnesses, including Justice Department officials, who suggested that some questions were best put to the minister of justice. The committee invited Wilson-Raybould but she did not show up. In her stead, the government sent her parliamentary secretary, Liberal MP Marco Mendicino, and Public Services Minister Carla Qualtrough.
"It's very unusual to study a bill, especially in the criminal domain, and to not have the minister responsible appear before the committee," Conservative Sen. Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu observed at the time. "I would like to know why the minister of justice is not here herself."
Qualtrough said it was her "understanding" that Wilson-Raybould "wasn't available." Qualtrough, who is responsible for the government's broader corporate-integrity agenda, acknowledged that she was "not technically, obviously, representing Justice," but nevertheless "felt myself capable to offer you some perspectives on our government's position on these matters."
Senators on the committee were sufficiently miffed by Wilson-Raybould's no-show to make an "observation" about it in their final report: "The committee notes it did not have the opportunity to hear the testimony of the minister of justice on the proposed amendments that are under her ministerial mandate, although she was invited to appear."
Independent Liberal Sen. Serge Joyal, the chair of the committee, said in an interview that he actually spoke to the government's representative in the Senate, Peter Harder, to see if he could persuade Wilson-Raybould to appear at the committee — to no avail.
"The members were rather frustrated by that," he said.
Joyal said the recent controversy over Wilson-Raybould's role in the SNC-Lavalin case puts her refusal to testify in a different perspective.
"Now, of course, in retrospect ... I can understand that she might not have been at ease with the overall issue of remediation agreements and didn't want to submit herself to questions in relation to that."
Wilson-Raybould, who was demoted to the veterans-affairs post in January, resigned altogether from cabinet on Tuesday. That followed an anonymously-sourced newspaper article that alleged she was improperly pressured by the Prime Minister's Office last fall to instruct the director of public prosecutions to negotiate a remediation agreement with SNC-Lavalin rather than pursue a criminal prosecution that could cripple the company.
The Montreal engineering giant has been charged with corruption and bribery in relation to government contracts in Libya; if found guilty it would be barred from bidding on government contracts in Canada for 10 years.
She has thus far refused to comment on the allegation, citing solicitor-client privilege. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has denied there was any undue pressure and insists he specifically told Wilson-Raybould the decision whether to prosecute was hers alone as attorney general.
The budget bill was not the only time Wilson-Raybould snubbed the Senate's legal and constitutional affairs committee. Throughout last fall, the committee tried repeatedly to get her to testify on the government's access-to-information reforms — specifically on a provision that would require judges to publicly disclose their expenses, which some senators fear could undermine judicial independence.
Joyal said Wilson-Raybould "systematically" refused repeated invitations to testify, even though the committee offered to be flexible on the timing to accommodate the minister's schedule. The only response it received was that the minister was unavailable, he said.
"We're having a great deal of difficulty scheduling the minister's appearance before our committee," Boisvenu remarked during an Oct. 3 committee meeting. "It's a habit of hers."
Unlike the budget bill, on which the committee was under pressure to report by a specific deadline, Joyal said he warned Harder that in the case of the access-to-information bill, the committee would sit on the legislation until it heard from Wilson-Raybould. "No minister, no bill."
Indeed, he said the committee was on the point of passing a motion to that effect when Wilson-Raybould was shuffled out of the justice portfolio in January. Within two weeks, he said, her successor David Lametti agreed to testify. He is now scheduled to appear on Thursday.
Wilson-Raybould has appeared before the Senate on other bills, notably those on medical assistance in dying and legalization of cannabis. But her selective approach to which bills she chose to defend publicly raises potential questions about cabinet solidarity.
Joyal, who served as a minister in the cabinets of Pierre Trudeau and John Turner, said disagreements are common around the cabinet table. But once a consensus decision is made, every minister is required to stand by it, whether or not he or she personally agrees with it.
In the case of a minister who personally disagrees with a bill
that falls under his or her responsibility, Joyal said: "If the decision
of the government is to proceed with the bill, you have no choice than
to stand by the bill. And if you don't want to stand by the bill, well,
the option is to resign from the portfolio. It's quite clear."

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com" <motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com
Dear Mr. Amos:
Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
$2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
promoters of abusive tax schemes.
On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
Panama Papers leaks.
These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
investigations where warranted, and better communication with
taxpayers.
To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
can educate their clients.
The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
court fines, and jail time.
Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
and 734 months of jail time.
When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
owed are considered.
More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
structures.
To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
employees involved in the case.
Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
protecting the CRA’s integrity.
The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
for tips received.
The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
information the CRA received through the OTIP.
With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
$10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
audits.
In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
(JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
relationships with the international community, which will help it
refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
investments are underway.
Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/
statement_from_
Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
provided is helpful.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com" <motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com
Dear Mr. Amos:
Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
$2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
promoters of abusive tax schemes.
On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
Panama Papers leaks.
These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
investigations where warranted, and better communication with
taxpayers.
To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
can educate their clients.
The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
court fines, and jail time.
Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
and 734 months of jail time.
When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
owed are considered.
More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
structures.
To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
employees involved in the case.
Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
protecting the CRA’s integrity.
The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
for tips received.
The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
information the CRA received through the OTIP.
With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
$10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
audits.
In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
(JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
relationships with the international community, which will help it
refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
investments are underway.
Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/
statement_from_
Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
provided is helpful.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue

"Litigation Lmbo" with Trump and his buddies in the WTO
So many of my fellow Canadians were enjoying the circus in the CBC
comment section I did not bother to try to add my 2 bits worth.
Instead I picked up the phone and reminded a lot of evil Yankee
lawyers that I was still alive and paying attention as to how truly
stupid they are. Then I sent a few emails too.
Only one lawyer answered me in an ethical and timely fashion. Go
Figure who it was.

>>
>> Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
>>
>> PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>
>> BETWEEN:
>>
>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>
>> Plaintiff
>>
>> and
>>
>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>
>> Defendant
>>
>> ORDER
>>
>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>> December 14, 2015)
>>
>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>> in its entirety.
>>
>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
>> he stated:
>>
>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>
>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>> Police.
>>
>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>
>>
>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
>> is no order as to costs.

>> Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment

>> When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
>> actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign

>> operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
>> Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
>> The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
>> deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
>> Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
>> redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was

>> Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
>> campaign of 2006.

>> What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
>> Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
>> Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,

>> What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
>> chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
>> less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
>> as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
>> deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
>>
>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
>> the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
>> That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
>> constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
>> remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
>> non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
>> regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
>> instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
>> limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
>>
>> President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
