And we are not finished. A key recommendation out of the organized crime forum was to continue to improve the ability of the police to investigate money laundering. Therefore, the government will introduce legislation in this session to create new financial reporting requirements regarding suspicious transactions and the cross-border movement of currency. These measures will give the police more information on illegitimate financial activity, and put us in step with our international counterparts. Mr. Speaker, the heart of our anti-organized crime strategy is bringing all concerned agencies together, from all involved jurisdictions, and maximizing the use of our resources, federal, provincial and municipal.
Cooperation is the hallmark of our efforts.
Again, law enforcement has urged greater national coordination of efforts and policies so that organized crime faces a seamless net. We took that suggestion seriously and that is why we established a National Co-ordinating Committee of police and other officials, chaired by my Department, along with Regional counterparts in British Columbia, the Prairies and the Territories, Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic region. As I said earlier, Mr. Speaker, the United Nations has expressed alarm at the rising threat of organized crime internationally. We recognize that global problems demand global solutions. We are working with the United States and other partners in Europe, the Americas and around the world in forums such as the United Nations, Interpol, and the Organization of American States.
