Yes, very specifically. Maybe first in general terms, when you look at some of the measures, including the clarification around the principle of restraint that I've just discussed, it would impact a wide range of offences, including but not limited to extortion.
Very specifically, there are measures included in the bill that are tied to violent extortion. The underlying theme through the bill that touches on organized crime will implicitly capture significant extortion because of the enormous representation of criminal organizations that are tied to extortion-related offences. In my view, this will be one of the tools that will help improve dealing with extortion.
I would be remiss if I didn't highlight Bill C-22 in particular, around lawful access. When I talk to law enforcement officials who have experience working with and preventing extortion, making sure they have the tools to investigate and prosecute crime that often is cross-border, fast-moving and digital in nature is one of the best things we can do to help crack down on extortion in this country, in addition to having harsher penalties and a bail system that is more reflective of the standard Canadians would expect.
