Company officers and directors could be held personally liable for failing to report the contract. The government would apply to the court to freeze and seize the proceeds payable to a convicted criminal for recounting crimes. This could include any property purchased with the proceeds. The money seized would be placed into a fund that would be available to the victims of the crime and for programs for victims. If the legislation is passed, Ontario would be the only province that would prevent criminals from profiting from their crimes and that would make the proceeds of the criminals' contracts for recounting crimes available to the victims.
Similar laws are in effect in Australia and almost all states in the United States.
