Bill C-42 will provide the powers required to find criminals that use corporations as a front to commit fraud. Sometimes, they are Canadian companies incorporated in other countries—usually the same ones, in fact. Bill C‑42 will give us the ability, further to an independent process, to identify those corporations involved in fraud.
In my opening remarks, I stressed the importance of paying attention to provinces and territories, to prevent criminals from choosing those where incorporation practices are not transparent.
