"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5340893\" data-originallang=\"en\">We do recognize that there is an issue with money laundering in the real estate sector. We share the concerns when we see media reports in the news about money laundering in whatever city, in Vancouver or elsewhere in Canada. That concerns us. That is why we take very seriously the obligations that are imposed on our members. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5340894\" data-originallang=\"en\">As my colleague, Dina, mentioned in her opening remarks, we have prepared numerous materials. We prepare template forms and office compliance manuals. We communicate regularly with our members on specific issues that are brought to our attention, such as the need to do a training program or the need to file suspicious transaction reports.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5340895\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is a concern to us. At the same time, we're also concerned that the manner in which obligations are being imposed on our members may not be the most efficient or best way this could actually be done. Unfortunately, we don't know how much money laundering is going on in the real estate sector. If we knew, I think there would be another issue. We don't know those numbers.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5340893\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous reconnaissons qu'il y a un probl\u00e8me de blanchiment d'argent dans le secteur immobilier. Nous sommes inquiets \u00e9galement lorsqu'on entend parler aux actualit\u00e9s de blanchiment d'argent \u00e0 Vancouver ou ailleurs au Canada. Cela nous pr\u00e9occupe. C'est pourquoi nous envisageons tr\u00e8s s\u00e9rieusement les obligations qui sont impos\u00e9es \u00e0 nos membres. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5340894\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme l'a mentionn\u00e9 ma coll\u00e8gue Dina dans sa d\u00e9claration liminaire, nous avons pr\u00e9par\u00e9 de nombreux documents. Nous r\u00e9digeons des formulaires types et des manuels de conformit\u00e9 administrative. Nous communiquons r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement avec nos membres \u00e0 propos de questions sp\u00e9cifiques qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 port\u00e9es \u00e0 notre attention, notamment au sujet de la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de suivre un programme de formation ou de remplir une d\u00e9claration d'op\u00e9ration douteuse. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5340895\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est une pr\u00e9occupation pour nous. Par ailleurs, nous craignons aussi que les obligations ne soient pas impos\u00e9es \u00e0 nos membres de la mani\u00e8re la plus efficiente ou de la meilleure fa\u00e7on possible. Malheureusement, nous ne savons pas \u00e0 quel point il y a du blanchiment d'argent dans le secteur immobilier. Si nous les avions, je pense qu'il y aurait un autre probl\u00e8me. Nous ne connaissons pas ces chiffres. </p>"
