Mr. Speaker, yesterday in Washington the Prime Minister said, and I quote, “the Superintendent of Institutions said all the assets of bin Laden and his associates should be frozen”. He said that it was ordered last Friday. In fact, all they did last Friday was send a letter from the FBI asking banks to co-operate with the investigation of the hijackers. All they have done today is send a follow-up letter.
When will the government move from scanning the bank accounts of terrorists, dead terrorists I might add, to seizing and freezing the assets of terrorists who are alive and possibly living among us?
