Pandora Papers reveal 'shadow economy' of the rich and powerful
Today we're digging into the massive Pandora Papers leak: What it reveals about how the world's wealthy and powerful are benefiting from tax havens — and whether Canada is doing enough to rein it in.
Dubbed "the Panama Papers on steroids," the millions of leaked financial documents known as the Pandora Papers provide new insights into the secretive world of tax havens. And they expose how the wealthy and powerful — including many world leaders — are able to benefit from this system, while keeping billions of dollars out of public coffers.
Today, Zach Dubinsky, a senior writer with CBC's Investigations Unit, will take us through some highlights from the leak. Then we'll speak to Toby Sanger, executive director of the advocacy group Canadians For Tax Fairness, about whether Canada is doing enough to rein in this problem.
