Mexican President addresses tax question

摘要

At a gala dinner in Toronto honouring Felipe Calderon, the president of Mexico fielded questions on everything from his administration's war on drugs to whether the soccer-crazy nation is likely to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup. But with nearly half the evening's sponsors being gold mining companies, one of the first questions from the floor was whether Mexico had any intention of imposing more taxes on the industry along the lines of the Resource Super Profits Tax, recently proposed in Australia.
