For instance, in the case of Barbados, the regulations make it easy to avoid taxes. There are currently 22 tax havens with which we do not have a treaty, but the government treats them as though we do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4698649\" data-originallang=\"fr\">If the government is running everything through regulations, why brother with Bill S-4?</p>",

Par exemple, dans le cas de la Barbade, r\u00e8glement fait en sorte que l'\u00e9vitement fiscal est permis. Il y a actuellement 22 paradis fiscaux avec lesquels nous n'avons pas de trait\u00e9, mais que le gouvernement traite comme s'il y en avait.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4698649\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Si le gouvernement d\u00e9cide tout par r\u00e8glement, pourquoi d\u00e9cide-t-on du projet de loi S-4?</p>"
