Minister, let me explain why I find it difficult that the bill doesn't have a definition of what is a serious and complex financial crime or that the definition is incomplete. You said you would proceed sparingly, that you would discuss things. That's all well and good, but you know as well as I do that if we end up before a judge, the minister's opinion or the good intentions of the minister and his team won't stand up to the British North America Act. I think we need to be clearer.
Even assuming things will be done in good faith and discussed, I would like to know what the criteria are. What will be used to determine whether a financial crime is serious and complex? What specific criteria will you and the people from the Office of the Attorney General and the agency use?
