Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre says a Conservative government would create a new “tax task force” to crack down on the use of overseas tax havens, and direct the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to shift its focus away from Canadian charities and small businesses toward offshore accounts.

“You can’t avoid your taxes, global elites should not be able to either, and that is why I will end the Liberal two-tier tax system where elites get loopholes and working people get audited,” Poilievre said during an April 8 press conference in Edmonton.
