Canada’s Finance Minister Joe Oliver says he was very concerned by an “adminstrative error” last week which revealed government tax measures on the Finance ministry’s website.
In a press conference following a speech at the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto on Tuesday (October 14) the Minister downplayed the possibility of someone profiting from the disclosure which was made accidentally on Thursday on the website, and taken down a few minutes later. The tax measures were quickly tabled the next day.
RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda has a report.
