Mr. Speaker, I wish to thank my honourable colleague for Champlain, and the answer is unambiguous. Indeed, in Canada, a sacrosanct principle obtains: nobody can be found guilty of a crime unless he has had a fair trial, and his guilt has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. In the case of interest to us, the accused must have been found guilty.
Here is an example I have been personally involved in; it happened in spring 2001. Houses, snowmobiles, planes, off-road recreational vehicles were seized. According to the bill that will be introduced, when the accused has been found guilty, at sentencing, he has to prove that the seized assets have not been acquired by criminal means. That is the answer. It comes after conviction.
