Minister, as you know, over the last month and a half, we have been asking the government to take action on an almost daily basis. Our main concern is that the assets in question, especially those belonging to the Trabelsi family, will be liquidated and that the profits will be invested in tax havens.
You said that you do not have the means necessary to take action and comply with this request. However, we believe that section 354 and part XXII of the Criminal Code, as well as section 54 of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, provide Canada with the necessary means. Earlier, you said that Canada does not have this kind of authority. Perhaps the experts can explain to us why that is.
