Proceeds of Crime (Gross Human Rights Abuses) Bill 2020: Discussion

Mr. Kevin McMeel:

This goes back to the first point I made. Mr. Browder talks about the intention of the movement as opposed to this particular Bill being concerned with the seizure of all assets that are owned by a human rights abuser regardless of how those assets are generated. I hope I am not misinterpreting what was the intention. I think Mr. Browder agrees with me. If that is the case, then this provision, to my mind, will not achieve that result. That is my concern and the concern of CAB, and I think it is also the concern of the Department in this regard.
