Opposition MPs are demanding the federal government crack down on tax evaders after a CBC investigation revealed that several prominent and wealthy Canadians appear to be linked to a secret tax dodge on the Isle of Man. "How are Canadians expected to believe that this prime minister is serious about going after tax evasion when he refuses to go after tax evaders," he added. Trudeau responded by insisting his government is serious about going after tax evaders, evasion in general and tax fraud. The scheme was later described by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a "sham" in court documents. Minister of National Revenue Diane Lebouthillier said that it was the CRA that discovered the KPMG tax haven.
