Justice committee The application to forfeit the property is made after a conviction has been registered. The application to actually seize or restrain is made before that, during the investigation.

Insp Don Perron
Justice committee Yes, it is.

Insp Don Perron
Justice committee It's very similar.
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee I am vaguely familiar with Bill S-4, but I can tell you that the new provisions in there that allow us to charge people who are in possession of identity documents are going to be extremely helpful. As a matter of fact, we took down a project two weeks ago where we were able to u
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee I am a firm believer that when you can remove any wealth or any property that should not be in the hands of criminals, it is an effective way to reduce crime. When you can do that, and not only do that but return it to victims, I think it's even better. It is a tremendously effec
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee We usually work hand in hand with what we call substantive investigators. For example, a typical asset forfeiture investigator will work with a drug investigator or a firearms investigator from the provincial weapons unit. They are responsible for putting the case together to put
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee It's a very good question. As I indicated in my opening remarks, I think there are some opportunities to look at the Seized Property Management Act to possibly provide some amendments. One of the issues we are facing right now is that seized property management will not manage

Insp Don Perron
Justice committee With some of these operations that we're seizing, obviously we do it in consultation with the prosecutor. We're getting much better at structuring the restraint order so that perhaps we would not take possession of property, where we force them to continue to operate the operatio
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee Good question. First of all, the provisions we have available to what we call preserve the asset so we can seek forfeiture are the special search warrants and the restraint orders. They are applications by the prosecutor based on the affidavit we provide. The complexity of thos
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee I think that would be a question best placed to the seized property management directorate and the provincial asset management entity. We, the police, are not responsible for managing the assets or disposing of the assets. That question would be best answered by them.
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee I do not believe you should buy one.
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee Yes, you make a very interesting observation that they are tending to lease more of their cars and rent more of their facilities. However, they would still have this large amount of money or profits that they somehow need to make available so they can benefit from the profits. Ve

Insp Don Perron
Justice committee Yes.
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee That is correct.
April 13th, 2010Committee meeting
Insp Don Perron
Justice committee Yes, there is a legislative regime that talks about the sharing of forfeited proceeds, and based on the contribution of the various parties or stakeholders or police partners to resolving that forfeiture, they would be assigned a certain percentage. It's outlined in the forfeited
