This is CPC-30. I'm just looking at you, Chair. I don't have to read the whole thing. I'll summarize what it does.
It amends the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to ensure that corporations found guilty, essentially, of human trafficking under sections 118 and 119 as well would be subject to more penalties for it. I'll read it very quickly:
120 (1) A person, other than a corporation, who contravenes section 118 or 119 is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction by way of indictment to a fine of not more than $1,000,000 or to life imprisonment, or to both.
(2) A corporation that contravenes section 118 or 119 is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction by way of indictment to a fine of not more than $25,000,000.
Colleagues, what we're trying to do here is bring more penalties to corporations and individuals who are guilty of human trafficking under existing provisions in IRPA. The language on individuals is reflective of language already in law, and while we are restating it, we are also introducing a fine for corporations not exceeding $25 million under these sections.
Thank you.
