The federal government will introduce legislation this session to create new financial reporting requirements on suspicious transactions and the cross-border movement of currency, federal Solicitor General Andy Scott said today.
Organized crime is big business and it is bad business.
And that is what we are doing. These measures will give the police more information on illegitimate financial activity, and put us in step with our international counterparts. In the statement, Mr. Scott outlined a comprehensive national offensive under way against organized crime. The Solicitor General paid tribute to the efforts of the Canadian law enforcement community in advising governments on how to address organized crime. Mr. Scott said the federal government is committed to providing national leadership in the fight against organized crime.
