Mr. Chairman, in response to the hon. member, and clarifying with officials, this follows practice already in the Criminal Code where rather than seizing the entire property of an individual who may be indictable under the act, the difference would be that we do not want to seize the house even though one of the products that is prohibited may be within it.
To wit, if somebody is in possession of an anti-personnel land mine and that piece of property is to be seized as a matter of evidence, we do not want to seize the entire house and all the things in it as a matter of conviction. The family may still be there and they are not liable. That is the same kind of principle that is now applied in the Criminal Code, say, on drug offences.
