I have a few points.

First of all, Canada does not have extraterritorial reach when it comes to our legislation, so there has to be a Canadian connection. Because Canada's banking system is so good, people are not generally hiding assets in Canada. We already have quite a number of steps and processes to make sure that we are not harbouring criminal funds, etc. That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.
