Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here.
Mr. Lalonde, I view this legislation as nothing more than a tumbleweed. For the last 40 years, it's been kicking around, with only two stops. We have an opportunity here to revise it, look at it, and come up with something pretty significant, especially as the international community, as you well noted, has really moved forward a lot on this and we haven't done so.
How important do you believe this is in terms of being an opportunity to dissuade organized crime from benefiting in Canada?
