Thank you.
The bill does establish the ability to seize “any property situated in Canada” that is owned or controlled by the foreign entity, state or national that engaged in “hostage taking or...arbitrary detention”. Obviously, for us, this is a welcome proposal, but we know from experience with Canada's sanction enforcement that the government has had very little success in seizing assets of Russian oligarchs and that we have too few resources allocated in this regard.
Can you comment again on the lack of resources and what would be required to actually enforce this part of the bill?
