Thank you, Mr. Hoback and Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Hulan, for coming here today.

I have two questions about sanctions enforcement. They're very simple ones. First, the government in the last budget announced a Canada financial crimes agency. The U.K. has announced a similar initiative. The U.K. has indicated that a unit within this new agency in the United Kingdom will be for sanctions enforcement. Can you tell us if the Government of Canada has similar plans for this new Canadian agency?
