So sketchy and quite sickening too. It will be interesting to see just who is on this list of 1,700.

Only if they're liberals

I'm willing to bet Paul Martin is on the list

And just about any person who has had a minister portfolio in the last 20 years.
Safe to say that list will never be published.
A guy steals peoples priviate information, flees from law enforcement when they question him. Now a ton of ppl are being investigated and this guy has nothing happening to him?

French officials ultimately gave their citizens an opportunity to pay up without facing penalty. Half a billion euros were returned.
That was based on 8000 or so French accounts, scary to think of how much those 1785 Canadian accounts might bring in...

If the Swiss ever get hold of him he can buddy up with the two IRS agents who've been doing time over there since 1988.

Not paying taxes on it is.
