Mr. Speaker, we have seen efforts in the past to assist the police. The police have been calling for the tools necessary to track the proceeds of crime. Money laundering is a terrific problem. With technology being what it is today and the international markets as they are, it is becoming increasingly difficult to oftentimes track laundered money.
There is money and there are other assets that are proceeds of crime. I feel that the bill, which hopefully the justice minister will come forward with, if it is in keeping with the motion that my colleague has put forward, would go a long way toward achieving that. It would enable police and our justice system to better track and be aware of the assets. It would give them more of a reason to keep track of the assets, whether money or physical assets, that are purchased through criminal activities. In doing so and in having this reverse onus, we would be able to put in the Crown's hands these proceeds of crime, take the wind out of the sails and take away the motivating factor for organized crime. In doing so, we will cut the support planks out of organized crime.
