Obviously, FINTRAC and RCMP aren't here. I'll do my best to pass on what I understand to be their perspectives on this. From the Global Affairs perspective, we work very closely with FINTRAC and RCMP.
There are very tight authorities under FINTRAC on what they can report and not. In fact, they recently set a fine of $175 million against a cryptocurrency exchange in B.C., in part based on its failure to do sanctions reporting.
They do a very important job, but they're not a law enforcement tool. They have very limited constraints, for charter and constitutional reasons. This particular provision is problematic for them, as it is for the RCMP, in that it requires that they take on a role of judge, in a sense, which is not their role. The RCMP has the same concerns.
Similarly, for the RCMP, we work closely with them on the enforcement side, but they don't assess the policy question of whether, for example, individuals are committing genocide.
