There's a Leaf comment; I'm still hurting on it, okay?
Mr. McGuire, in your role as chair of the anti-money-laundering committee at the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada, I'm sure you've had a chance to look at what we've done in this budget. The number of changes to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act that are embedded in here are certainly important for the Canadian government to be able to collect taxes that have been delinquent and deliberately not paid and to really look at international crime and terrorist activity.
We've put in a number of amendments here. First of all, we've strengthened the customer due diligence standards, including for politically exposed foreign and domestic persons. We've closed the gaps of the regime, such as online casinos, to persons and entities that deal in virtual currencies and foreign money services businesses. We've improved compliance monitoring and enforcement. We've strengthened information sharing. For instance, we allow FINTRAC to disclose to federal partners on threats to national security. We've repealed the regulation-making authority pertaining to the ministerial directive power, under part 1.1 of the act, in order to bring part 1.1 into force, and other technical amendments there.
Understanding the nature of what we're dealing with, the underground activity that we're dealing with, and the difficulty of dealing with that, in your assessment I would hope you'd think these amendments go some way in the right direction to actually dealing with this type of criminal activity. But is there anything else we could add to that list?
