Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much for the question. As you know, the different authorities for the various elements of the sanctions regime are situated across various departments. It very much depends on what we're talking about. For example, an investigation in the case of a Canadian who ha

Finance committee  Thank you very much. As before, I am Marie-Josée Langlois, director general in the strategic policy branch at Global Affairs Canada. In terms of the provisions on ownership and control in the sanctions legislation, those provisions have been there from the beginning. The dealin

Finance committee  At the heart of the sanctions application, including the seizure and forfeiture parts of it, is an intention to change behaviour, to hold people to account in terms of respecting international norms and rules, and to advocate for key issues for Canada. An example is the protectio

Finance committee  In terms of the sanctions that have been imposed to date in the context of Russia, as you can see, a number of measures have been imposed. There are dealings bans on Canadians. There are also services measures and measures related to goods. Basically, we want to send the signal

Finance committee  Last year, in February, as you noted, the Department of Transport had a no-fly measure for planes of Russian origin. That's why the plane is at Pearson airport. On April 11, the government announced sanctions on the Volga-Dnepr Group, which is believed to be the owner of that air

Finance committee  My name is Marie-Josée Langlois. I'm the director general for the strategic policy branch at Global Affairs Canada. Thank you for your question on the sanctions and the seizure and forfeiture clauses that were passed last summer. As you know, those clauses were passed last summ

Finance committee  The RCMP lists the amounts that were frozen, because as soon as sanctions come into force, amounts are frozen. Canadians can no longer deal with listed people. The RCMP has a website that provides the amounts that were frozen, which is updated regularly. The first seizure was of

Finance committee  I know the foreign affairs committee talks about sanctions quite a bit, as you've noted. There's been a decision by them recently saying that they would like to look at sanctions issues. The Senate committee is also looking at the sanctions legislation, with a report that will

Foreign Affairs committee  In terms of the implementation, yes, it's incumbent on all the member states to decide how they coordinate. If there are two levels of coordination, they will do it among themselves. You also touched on coordination among countries across discussions internationally. That coordi

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes, we certainly welcome engagement with committees and the discussions. A sanctions report would have to be.... If I understand what you're describing, it would be fairly broad, so we would need some time to evaluate and assess it. We'd be happy to continue the discussion. We

Foreign Affairs committee  The Senate has been working on a review of the sanctions legislation and will be putting forth a report and recommendations later on. The timing is to be determined, but that should be coming.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm sorry. There's a lot of noise. Could you repeat the question?

Foreign Affairs committee  I wouldn't opine on that. The report will be forthcoming. I'm not sure what the timing would be. It would certainly be an interesting perspective for us to review. Whether the committee would like to review the report or engage in that discussion, we'll defer to the committee,

Foreign Affairs committee  If I may ask, is this for a clarification on sanctions in terms of evaluation? I see it is. As you know, there are different systems across different countries, and the legal basis of those systems will affect how they deal with different discussions on sanctions. In the U.K.,
