Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Earlier in your testimony, you brought up the significant investments that have been made in law enforcement in recent years to better collect and share data related to organized crime and money laundering. I think you mentioned about $319 million.
Also in your testimony, you mentioned some of the challenges with operational effectiveness. Of course, this is a very challenging topic. You're dealing with organized crime operating over multiple jurisdictions and using shell companies, in many cases, to obscure the real ownership of different assets in order to exploit wherever there may be a gap. That speaks to the ongoing challenge of updating the regime.
Speaking of operational challenges, one of the things proposed a couple of years ago was the creation of a Canada financial crimes agency. I know this is a Public Safety lead. They've been leading a consultation for over a year now on this.
I am curious to know, from your point of view, what role you see Finance playing in such an agency. What type of input have you provided to the consultation as this body is being contemplated?
