Well, in terms of the example that I gave of Derwick Associates, I would not know why the Canadian system has failed to look into this, and look into how it is these men were able to blithely buy all of this Canadian stock with stolen money and not raise a single eyebrow in Canada, despite there being a lot of publicity around it.
With regard to the specifics of what we're discussing here, I believe that the FACFOA sanctions come into place too late. They come into place when the government in question has already been removed from power and the new government requests Canada to seize the assets of the most recent set of thieves. Considering how that law is written, I believe it may actually even end up serving as a political tool for a new set of people in government in one of these jurisdictions. I think that law could be altered somewhat, and it could be tightened.
In addition, I believe there is a failure in limiting initiation of action to states. I think you should allow associations or others to be able to blow the whistle. You do, after all, have offices that can look into and investigate these issues, and once they investigate them, they can decide to dismiss them or not dismiss them. Law enforcement operates like this in democratic countries all the time. They receive denunciations and accusations. They choose to investigate, and they will either choose to continue the investigation or not investigate, and possibly even prosecute if the investigation is fruitful. I don't see why we cannot apply the same analogy to asset seizures, or to seeking visa denials from foreign officials.
