Adam Chambers (Simcoe North) prepared this bill, which proposes to give authorities more tools to catch and convict criminals and deter money laundering activity.

If adopted, Bill C-289 would:

· amend the Criminal Code, making it an offense to provide false information to a person or entity listed in section 5 of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) & Terrorist Financing Act.

· Those found in violation could face a prison term of up to 10 years and/or a fine of up to $1,000,000 CAD.
