Madam Speaker, this motion intrigues and fascinates me. I am trying to think of some scenarios to which it may apply.
Let us imagine a government, through its powers and political operations, receives kickbacks from an advertising program, and I use that as an example, and we discover that much of the money flows back into the political operations of that party. Let us also say that the main players on both sides are convicted of a criminal offence.
Let us say it was the Liberal Party of Canada, just as a hypothetical. In effect, would it mean that the law would seize all the moneys and property of the Liberal Party of Canada and put a reverse onus on the Prime Minister of Canada to show that these moneys were not proceeds of crime?
