In the bill, you use the wording “politically exposed foreign person” and you list people covered by that definition. Then, you state the following: “If a foreign state, in writing, asserts to the Government of Canada that a person has misappropriated property [...]” You talk about a foreign state, and I am wondering who can ask the government to freeze assets. Can a diplomat do so?
