Yes. Thank you very much for your question.
My name is Erin Hunt. I'm the director general of financial crimes and security at the Department of Finance. It would be my pleasure to give you an overview of the information-sharing components or proposals related to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. In fact, there's also a proposal with respect to the Criminal Code. Maybe I'll start with that one, because that one's a little bit separate.
The proposal with respect to the Criminal Code would allow for an Attorney General to seek a warrant with respect to seeking information regarding tax. It adds additional offences under which it would simplify that warrant process.
That's the Criminal Code change. There are also several proposals to improve information sharing under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. One would assist FINTRAC, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre, which is Canada's financial intelligence unit, to provide strategic analysis related to threats to national security. This is something that addresses a gap that our security and intelligence establishment asked for...to be able to understand and provide more strategic intelligence to them to address threats to national security.
