I want to speak to the case of an individual, Vitaly Malkin. I won't go through the list of alleged and credible evidence of wrongdoing, but here is the case.
Superintendent, you spoke to the interdepartmental partnerships, but I think the Vitaly Malkin case, over more than two decades, is a good example of interdepartmental dysfunction to a certain extent. We see a case where the immigration department regularly and quite frequently refused his entry to Canada and eventually refused and blocked his application for Canadian citizenship, with his access to Canada overturned by a judge. Russian foreign ministers intervened with the foreign affairs department of Canada on his behalf.
Also, CSIS has a file, we understand, which cannot be released because of its sensitive contents. We know that Mr. Malkin, although eventually allowed entry if not citizenship, has brought tens of millions of dollars into Canada and has acquired real estate properties and investments well known to you—I assume—as well as other authorities, and certainly well known in my home city of Toronto.
I'm wondering if either of your corners of government are aware of any other cases wherein the international criminal activity of a person, supported by credible and abundant evidence, was known to these government agencies, your agencies, and if other individuals, as well as Mr. Malkin, were able to bring their assets into this country.
