And it goes on: by our calculations, the accelerated write-off allowed for the oil sands alone will have let the oil companies exempt $15 billion of their taxable profits between 2005 and 2008—$15 billion to the oil companies, when we all know that they are all living on the edge of poverty.
Et ça continue: selon nos calculs, l'amortissement accéléré pour les sables bitumineux, à lui seul, aura permis aux pétrolières de soustraire 15 milliards de dollars de leurs profits imposables entre 2005 et 2008.
