        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4952288\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, it is a true honour to speak in support of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8232682\" href=\"/bills/42-1/S-226/\" title=\"An Act to provide for the taking of restrictive measures in respect of foreign nationals responsible for gross violations of internationally recognized human rights and to make related amendments to the Special Economic Measures Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act\">S-226</a>. I thank Senator Andreychuk for her initiative in another place and I thank the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214380\" href=\"/politicians/james-bezan/\" title=\"James Bezan\">Selkirk\u2014Interlake\u2014Eastman</a> for bringing it to the House. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952289\" data-originallang=\"en\">The legislation will effectively add a long-overdue dimension to Canada's official sanctions regime by targeting corrupt foreign officials responsible for gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. This act will be forever associated with Sergei Magnitsky, a heroic victim of Vladimir Putin's brutally corrupt regime. He was an auditor who discovered and exposed details of a massive corruption racket involving many mid and high-level Russian government officials, oligarchs, best described collectively as \u201ckleptocrats\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952290\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will not revisit the tragic details of Mr. Magnitsky's cruel detention, his torture and his death or of the Putin regime's posthumous conviction of Mr. Magnitsky on outrageously confected charges of tax evasion. However, I would recommend, for those unaware of the Magnitsky story, the international bestseller <em>Red Notice</em>, written by his employer, the crusading champion of Magnitsky-style legislation in democracies around the world, Bill Browder, CEO and founder of Hermitage Capital Management.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952291\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8102913\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-226/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences in relation to conveyances) and the Criminal Records Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-226</a> lays out very clearly the circumstances under which corrupt foreign individuals, not just in Russia but anywhere in the world, would be listed. Listing would apply to individuals responsible for, or complicit in, extrajudicial killings, torture or other gross violations of internationally recognized human rights, and foreign government officials exposed of illegal activity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952292\" data-originallang=\"en\">The law would prohibit those individuals from travelling to Canada, investing in Canada or for any funds or properties of these individuals discovered in Canada to be subject to seizure. The law would also provide for penalties against Canadians found to be engaged in activities that would assist the identified corrupt foreign officials.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952293\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberal government has come to accept and support the legislation very late in the day, even though in the final days of our previous Parliament, the Liberals joined all parties in unanimously supporting a motion for Magnitsky-style legislation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952294\" data-originallang=\"en\">The first Magnitsky legislation was passed in the United States in 2012. Other countries have followed such as the United Kingdom and Estonia. The European Parliament has called on member countries to consider imposing entry bans on listed individuals and for co-operation in freezing the assets of listed Russians. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952295\" data-originallang=\"en\">Despite acceptance and implementation of these Magnitsky laws, the former Liberal foreign minister, St\u00e9phane Dion, flatly opposed such legislation last year, saying, more than a little disingenuously, that it was unnecessary. Fortunately, over the past year, encouraged by the official opposition and NDP members of the foreign affairs committee, the Liberal members of the committee came to agree that in fact Canada did need Magnitsky-style sanctions legislation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952296\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our committee heard testimony from a broad spectrum of witnesses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952297\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Former Liberal justice minister Irwin Cotler, the sponsor of the House's original Magnitsky motion, said that the main objective \u201cis to combat the persistent and pervasive culture of corruption, criminality and impunity\u201d, and most importantly, to assure victims and defenders of human rights in such foreign countries that Canada \u201cwill not relent in our pursuit of justice for them\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952298\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Garry Kasparov, an eloquent advocate of democratic reform in Russia and, of course, former world chess champion, put it this way in his testimony before the committee. He said, \u201cMoney is always looking for safe harbour. We are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars, if not more, of this money that will definitely be looking for a place to be invested.\u201d He warned against Canada being considered by corrupt individuals as a \u201csafe haven\u201d. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952299\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Zhanna Nemtsova, daughter of the Russian pro-democracy crusader, Boris Nemtsov, murdered on a Moscow bridge in 2015, made clear the importance of targeted sanctions against named individuals. She said, \u201cThese are not sanctions against a country or even a government. These are sanctions against specific individuals responsible for corruption and for abusing human rights.\u201d </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952300\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Equally powerful testimony came from Russian human rights activist, Vladimir Kara-Murza who, after recovering from one sinister attempt to poison him in Russia in 2015, told our committee:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"4952301\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I have no doubt that this was deliberate poisoning intended to kill, and it was motivated by my political activities in the Russian democratic opposition, likely including my involvement in the global campaign in support of the Magnitsky Act. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"4952302\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Kara-Murza was in Canada a few weeks ago still recovering from a second poisoning attempt on his life. He encouraged Canadian parliamentarians to ensure the legislation was quickly voted into law and then, as importantly, effectively enforced.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952303\" data-originallang=\"en\"> That is an important point because, as the foreign affairs committee discovered during our hearings this past year, enforcement of Canada's existing sanction regime is pathetically dysfunctional and ineffective.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952304\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act was created in 2011, to respond to events of the Arab Spring, where governments fell and state assets were vulnerable to corrupt officials suspected of moving ill-gotten wealth to locations abroad.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952305\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Special Economic Measures Act has been used in the creation of a number of regulations that would impose restrictive measures and prohibitions on illegitimate activities, to freeze bank accounts, to block financial dealings and seize property.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952306\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sanctions against Iran for its nuclear adventurism and sponsorship of terrorism are within SEMA, as are sanctions against Russia for the invasion and occupation of Crimea and sponsorship of the deadly rebellion in Eastern Ukraine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952307\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, testimony revealed that Canadian departments and agencies that were mandated to monitor and to enforce such sanctions, operated in counterproductive silos, that the complexities of sanctions enforcement exceeded the capacity of departments and agencies. Most important, we heard from the RCMP and other agencies that there was a lack of capacity to monitor and investigate compliance and that sanctions enforcement was a much lower priority than say, anti-terror responsibilities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952308\" data-originallang=\"en\">While we in the official opposition are pleased that the Liberals have accepted our unanimous foreign affairs committee recommendations to add this Magnitsky bill, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8102913\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-226/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences in relation to conveyances) and the Criminal Records Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-226</a> to Canada's sanction regimes, there is still much more to be done. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952309\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are 12 other recommendations in the committee report aimed at fixing Canada's dysfunctional sanctions enforcement to increase capacity, coordination, and commitment between departments and agencies. The need for just such action was made clear last month. Where bureaucrats, security agency officials, and financial institution specialists tended to scoff that Russian kleptocrats would want to move illegal funds to Canada or to enjoy those ill-gotten gains in Canada, information provided by Mr. Browder to the RCMP last year and to Canadian journalists more recently proved exactly the opposite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952310\" data-originallang=\"en\">The CBC confirmed that after following up on Mr. Browder's documents, a powerful Russian crime syndicate, accused of laundering hundreds of millions of dollars around the world, appears to have also flowed millions through nearly 30 Canadian bank accounts, without sanctions enforcers noticing. Some of those accounts belonged to individuals. Others were shell companies created to receive incoming funds and to send laundered money abroad.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952311\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lincoln Caylor, a Toronto lawyer who specializes in complex fraud, was quoted as saying that there was so much documentation proving that millions from a sophisticated Russian tax fraud had moved in and out of Canada, that it was groundbreaking.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952312\" data-originallang=\"en\">We in the official opposition are pleased the government has finally decided to support Conservative legislation, which will target the world's worst human rights offenders, as well as from Russia, to Iran, China, Congo, Venezuela, South Sudan, anywhere perpetrators of gross violations of human rights can be identified. We are pleased with the combination of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8102913\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-226/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences in relation to conveyances) and the Criminal Records Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-226</a> and the foreign affairs committee's unanimous recommendations to apply Magnitsky sanctions legislation and to enforce them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952313\" data-originallang=\"en\">The challenge now is for the often foot-dragging Liberal government to actually act.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4952288\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, c'est un tr\u00e8s grand honneur pour moi d'intervenir afin d'appuyer le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8232682\" href=\"/bills/42-1/S-226/\" title=\"An Act to provide for the taking of restrictive measures in respect of foreign nationals responsible for gross violations of internationally recognized human rights and to make related amendments to the Special Economic Measures Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act\">S-226</a>. Je remercie la s\u00e9natrice Andreychuk de l'avoir pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 \u00e0 l'autre endroit, ainsi que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214380\" href=\"/politicians/james-bezan/\" title=\"James Bezan\">Selkirk\u2014Interlake\u2014Eastman</a> d'avoir accept\u00e9 de le parrainer \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952289\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi ajoutera un \u00e9l\u00e9ment attendu depuis longtemps au r\u00e9gime canadien des sanctions officielles en ciblant les dirigeants \u00e9trangers corrompus, qui sont responsables de violations graves de droits de la personne reconnus \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle internationale. Le projet de loi sera \u00e9ternellement associ\u00e9 \u00e0 Sergue\u00ef Magnitski, victime h\u00e9ro\u00efque du r\u00e9gime corrompu et brutal de Vladimir Poutine. M. Magnitski \u00e9tait un v\u00e9rificateur qui a d\u00e9couvert et r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 au grand jour les d\u00e9tails d'un syst\u00e8me de corruption \u00e0 tr\u00e8s grande \u00e9chelle impliquant de nombreux fonctionnaires russes de niveau interm\u00e9diaire et sup\u00e9rieur, des oligarques, que l'on pourrait qualifier collectivement de \u00ab kleptocrates \u00bb.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952290\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne vais pas passer en revue les d\u00e9tails tragiques de la d\u00e9tention cruelle de M. Magnitski, de la torture qu'il a subie et de sa mort, ni parler de sa condamnation posthume par le r\u00e9gime de Poutine \u00e0 la suite d'accusations d'\u00e9vasion fiscale outrageusement invent\u00e9es de toutes pi\u00e8ces. Cependant, les personnes qui ne connaissent pas l'histoire de M. Magnitski devraient lire le succ\u00e8s de librairie international <em>Notice rouge</em>, de Bill Browder, PDG et fondateur d'Hermitage Capital Management. Ancien employeur de M. Magnitski, M. Browder milite dans le monde entier pour que les pays d\u00e9mocratiques adoptent des lois semblables \u00e0 la loi de Sergue\u00ef Magnitski.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952291\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8102913\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-226/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences in relation to conveyances) and the Criminal Records Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-226</a> fait clairement \u00e9tat des circonstances dans lesquelles les noms de personnes \u00e9trang\u00e8res corrompues, pas seulement en Russie, mais partout dans le monde, figureraient sur une liste. On dresserait la liste des personnes responsables ou complices d\u2019ex\u00e9cutions extrajudiciaires, de tortures ou d\u2019autres violations graves de droits de la personne reconnues internationalement et des dirigeants \u00e9trangers ayant particip\u00e9 \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s ill\u00e9gales. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952292\" data-originallang=\"en\">La loi interdirait \u00e0 ces personnes d\u2019entrer au Canada, d\u2019investir au Canada ou prescrirait la saisie des fonds ou biens appartenant \u00e0 ces personnes et d\u00e9couverts au Canada. La loi pr\u00e9voirait \u00e9galement des sanctions contre les Canadiens engag\u00e9s dans des activit\u00e9s pour aider ces dirigeants \u00e9trangers corrompus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952293\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral a fini par accepter et soutenir la loi tr\u00e8s tard, m\u00eame si pendant les derniers jours de la l\u00e9gislature pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente, les lib\u00e9raux s\u2019\u00e9taient joints \u00e0 tous les partis pour offrir un soutien unanime \u00e0 une motion en faveur d\u2019une mesure l\u00e9gislative semblable \u00e0 la loi de Magnitski.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952294\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La premi\u00e8re loi de Magnitski a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9e aux \u00c9tats-Unis en 2012. D\u2019autres pays, comme le Royaume-Uni et l\u2019Estonie, ont embo\u00eet\u00e9 le pas. Le Parlement europ\u00e9en a invit\u00e9 les pays membres \u00e0 envisager d\u2019imposer une interdiction d\u2019entr\u00e9e aux personnes dont le nom figure sur la liste et \u00e0 coop\u00e9rer concernant le gel des biens des Russes figurant sur la liste. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952295\" data-originallang=\"en\"> M\u00eame si ces lois de Magnitski ont \u00e9t\u00e9 accept\u00e9es et mises en \u0153uvre, l\u2019ancien ministre lib\u00e9ral des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res, St\u00e9phane Dion, s\u2019est oppos\u00e9 carr\u00e9ment \u00e0 une telle loi l\u2019an dernier en disant, de fa\u00e7on plus qu\u2019un peu malhonn\u00eate, qu\u2019une telle loi n\u2019\u00e9tait pas n\u00e9cessaire. Fort heureusement, au cours de la derni\u00e8re ann\u00e9e, encourag\u00e9s par l\u2019opposition officielle et les membres du NPD du comit\u00e9 des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res, les lib\u00e9raux membres du comit\u00e9 ont finalement convenu qu\u2019en fait le Canada avait vraiment besoin d\u2019une mesure l\u00e9gislative pr\u00e9voyant des sanctions semblable \u00e0 la loi de Magnitski.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952296\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Notre comit\u00e9 a entendu les t\u00e9moignages d\u2019un vaste \u00e9ventail de t\u00e9moins.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952297\" data-originallang=\"en\"> L\u2019ancien ministre lib\u00e9ral de la Justice, Irwin Cotler, auteur de la motion originale de la Chambre sur la loi de Magnitski, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que le principal objectif \u00ab est de combattre la persistante et omnipr\u00e9sente culture de corruption, de criminalit\u00e9 et d\u2019impunit\u00e9 \u00bb, et ce qui est encore plus important, d\u2019assurer les victimes et les d\u00e9fenseurs des droits de la personne dans ces pays \u00e9trangers \u00ab que le Canada ne cessera pas de se battre pour leurs droits \u00bb.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952298\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Garry Kasparov, \u00e9loquent d\u00e9fenseur de la r\u00e9forme d\u00e9mocratique en Russie, et, bien s\u00fbr, ancien champion mondial d\u2019\u00e9checs, a parl\u00e9 ainsi dans son t\u00e9moignage devant le comit\u00e9. Il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9: \u00ab L\u2019argent cherche toujours un refuge. Nous parlons de centaines de milliards de dollars, si ce n\u2019est pas plus, que l\u2019on cherchera certainement \u00e0 investir quelque part. \u00bb Il met en garde contre la possibilit\u00e9 que des personnes corrompues consid\u00e8rent le Canada comme un \u00ab refuge \u00bb. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952299\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Zhanna Nemtsova, fille du fervent d\u00e9fenseur russe de la d\u00e9mocratie, Boris Nemtsov, assassin\u00e9 sur un pont de Moscou en 2015, a insist\u00e9 clairement sur l\u2019importance d\u2019avoir des sanctions cibl\u00e9es contre des personnes en particulier. Elle a d\u00e9clar\u00e9: \u00ab Ce ne sont pas des sanctions contre un pays ou un gouvernement. Elle [la loi] pr\u00e9voit des sanctions contre les personnes jug\u00e9es responsables de corruption et de violation des droits de la personne. \u00bb </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952300\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Un t\u00e9moignage tout aussi \u00e9loquent a \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9 par Vladimir Kara-Murza, d\u00e9fenseur russe des droits de la personne qui, apr\u00e8s s'\u00eatre remis d'une sinistre tentative d'empoisonnement en Russie, en 2015, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 au comit\u00e9:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"4952301\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J'en suis convaincu, on voulait d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9ment me tuer en raison de mes activit\u00e9s politiques au sein de l'opposition d\u00e9mocratique russe, et fort probablement \u00e0 cause de ma participation \u00e0 la campagne mondiale d'appui \u00e0 la loi Magnitski. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"4952302\" data-originallang=\"en\"> M. Kara-Murza \u00e9tait au Canada il y a quelques semaines. Il n'\u00e9tait pas encore remis d'une deuxi\u00e8me tentative d'empoisonnement. Il a encourag\u00e9 les parlementaires canadiens \u00e0 faire en sorte que le projet de loi soit adopt\u00e9 rapidement et, tout aussi important, appliqu\u00e9 avec efficacit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952303\" data-originallang=\"en\">C\u2019est important parce que, comme le comit\u00e9 des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res l'a d\u00e9couvert au cours de ses audiences au cours de l'ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e, l'application de l'actuel r\u00e9gime canadien de sanctions est lamentablement dysfonctionnelle et inefficace.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952304\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La Loi sur le blocage des biens de dirigeants \u00e9trangers corrompus a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9e en 2011 en r\u00e9ponse aux \u00e9v\u00e9nements du printemps arabe, lorsque des gouvernements ont \u00e9t\u00e9 renvers\u00e9s et que des biens \u00e9tatiques risquaient d\u2019\u00eatre d\u00e9tourn\u00e9s par des dirigeants corrompus et soup\u00e7onn\u00e9s de transf\u00e9rer \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger des richesses mal acquises.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952305\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Loi sur les mesures \u00e9conomiques sp\u00e9ciales a servi \u00e0 mettre en place un certain nombre de r\u00e8glements permettant d'imposer des mesures restrictives et des prohibitions visant les activit\u00e9s illicites de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 pouvoir geler les comptes bancaires, bloquer les transactions financi\u00e8res et saisir les biens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952306\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les sanctions contre l'Iran pour son aventurisme nucl\u00e9aire et son parrainage du terrorisme ont \u00e9t\u00e9 prises aux termes de cette loi, de m\u00eame que les sanctions contre la Russie pour l'invasion et l'occupation de la Crim\u00e9e et son parrainage de la r\u00e9bellion sanglante en Ukraine orientale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952307\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cependant, les t\u00e9moignages entendus ont r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que les minist\u00e8res et les organismes canadiens ayant le mandat de contr\u00f4ler et d'appliquer de telles sanctions travaillaient dans des vases clos contre-productifs et que les complexit\u00e9s de l'application des sanctions d\u00e9passaient leurs capacit\u00e9s. Plus important encore, nous avons appris de la GRC et d'autres organismes que la capacit\u00e9 de contr\u00f4ler l'application des sanctions et d'enqu\u00eater sur les cas de non-conformit\u00e9 faisait d\u00e9faut et que l'application des sanctions \u00e9tait beaucoup moins prioritaire que des responsabilit\u00e9s telles que la lutte antiterroriste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952308\" data-originallang=\"en\"> M\u00eame si l'opposition officielle que nous sommes se r\u00e9jouit que les lib\u00e9raux aient accept\u00e9 les recommandations unanimes du comit\u00e9 des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res, qui pr\u00e9conise l'adoption du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8102913\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-226/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences in relation to conveyances) and the Criminal Records Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-226</a>, la loi de Magnitski, afin d'\u00e9toffer le r\u00e9gime canadien des sanctions, il reste encore beaucoup \u00e0 faire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952309\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le rapport du comit\u00e9 comprenait 12 autres recommandations visant \u00e0 rendre fonctionnelle l'application des sanctions canadiennes en accroissant la capacit\u00e9 et l'engagement des minist\u00e8res et des organismes ainsi que la coordination de leurs efforts. La n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d'agir ainsi est devenue manifeste le mois dernier. Alors que fonctionnaires, responsables des organismes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et sp\u00e9cialistes des institutions financi\u00e8res tendaient \u00e0 douter que les kleptocrates russes veuillent transf\u00e9rer des fonds ill\u00e9gaux au Canada ou profiter de ces gains mal acquis au Canada, les renseignements communiqu\u00e9s par M. Browder \u00e0 la GRC l'an dernier et \u00e0 des journalistes canadiens plus r\u00e9cemment prouvent exactement le contraire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952310\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La CBC a confirm\u00e9, apr\u00e8s avoir fait un suivi des documents de M. Browder, qu\u2019une puissante organisation criminelle russe, accus\u00e9e du blanchiment de centaines de millions de dollars partout dans le monde, semble avoir aussi achemin\u00e9 des millions par l\u2019interm\u00e9diaire de 30 comptes bancaires canadiens, sans que les ex\u00e9cuteurs de sanctions l\u2019aient remarqu\u00e9. Certains de ces comptes appartenaient \u00e0 des particuliers et d'autres, \u00e0 des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s fictives cr\u00e9\u00e9es pour recevoir les fonds entrants et les acheminer, blanchis, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952311\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Lincoln Caylor, un avocat de Toronto qui se sp\u00e9cialise dans les cas complexes de fraude, aurait d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu\u2019il y a tant de documentation prouvant que des millions provenant d\u2019une fraude fiscale russe compliqu\u00e9e avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 achemin\u00e9s \u00e0 destination et en provenance du Canada que c'est du jamais vu. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952312\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous, de l'opposition officielle, sommes heureux que le gouvernement ait enfin d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d\u2019appuyer le projet de loi des conservateurs, qui ciblera les pires auteurs de violation des droits de la personne au monde, ceux de la Russie, de l\u2019Iran, de la Chine, du Congo, du Venezuela, du Soudan du Sud et de n\u2019importe o\u00f9 ailleurs o\u00f9 on peut identifier des auteurs de violations graves des droits de la personne. Nous sommes heureux de la combinaison du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8102913\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-226/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences in relation to conveyances) and the Criminal Records Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-226</a> et des recommandations unanimes du comit\u00e9 des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res d\u2019appliquer les sanctions pr\u00e9vues par la loi de Magnitski et de les faire respecter. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4952313\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9fi consiste maintenant \u00e0 attendre que le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, qui tra\u00eene souvent la patte, agisse. </p>"
