"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3869284\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is where we are supporting an action plan to tackle tax havens that includes greater transparency about what exactly those investments are. One of the big problems is that the investments don't stay in those countries, they go on to other places; but they go through those countries in order to lower their taxes. That is happening globally, and that's why the OECD and the G-20 are going forward with this OECD BEPS action plan that needs to be implemented. Hopefully by the end of 2015 we'll have a completed plan. Canada should support it and implement those recommendations.</p>",

L'un des grands probl\u00e8mes, c'est que les investissements ne restent pas dans ces pays. Ils vont ailleurs, mais on les fait passer par ces pays pour r\u00e9duire les imp\u00f4ts. Cela se passe \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle mondiale, et c'est pourquoi l'OCDE et le G20 appuient le Plan d\u2019action concernant l\u2019\u00e9rosion de la base d\u2019imposition et le transfert de b\u00e9n\u00e9fices qu'il faut mettre en oeuvre. Il est \u00e0 esp\u00e9rer que d'ici la fin de 2015, nous aurons un plan. Le Canada devrait l'appuyer et appliquer les recommandations.</p>"
