Subject Harper to RCMP criminal investigation over offshore tax haven scandal, 3 out of 5 Canadians say
A significant majority of Canadians (61%) want to see Stephen Harper subjected to an RCMP criminal investigation over his and his government’s role in the KPMG tax haven scandal which allowed billionaires to pay no taxes while obtaining federal and provincial tax credits, according to Google Consumer Survey.
The poll commissioned by ThinkPol found that only 13% of Canadians oppose such a move while 26% of the respondents preferred not to express their opinion.
The survey was conducted following the revelation that the Harper government appointed a major Canadian accounting association as an adviser to the Canada Revenue Agency, even while the group fought the CRA in court to shield the files of billionaires who had stashed money in offshore tax havens.
Stephen Harper and high ranking Conservative cabinet ministers met with senior staff from KPMG’s tax division during the same time, a CBC News investigation found.
