Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for the jewellers.
Like a number of us around this table, it really bothered me to learn that you can go and buy pieces in an auction house without anyone checking the identity of the owners of the items or their provenance. Perhaps we should examine those issues in more depth.
As I understand it, jewellers are required to declare transactions of more than $10,000. There are other areas involving luxury items, such as the art market, where pieces may be proceeds of crime. To your knowledge, are you the only dealers in the luxury goods market—I am not sure if I am using the right term here—to have obligations to FINTRAC?
