Thank you.
I'd like to quote something from the consultation paper itself, which actually is quite telling. The consultation paper on page 34 says that “Canada seldom requests or obtains international assistance in relation to Canadian investigations and prosecutions of money laundering and terrorist financing.”
Why?
Virtually all organized crime cases are across borders. Money laundering moves across borders. Why is Canada not making requests? Canada is not making requests because there are police officers investigating these things who make requests, right?
