Ottawa to try to freeze terrorist funds: Tougher rules and changes to
criminal code expected to make it easier to track monies By ELIZABETH
THOMPSON

OTTAWA -- Canada will move to follow the American lead and shut down
funding for terrorists, Secretary of State for International Financial
Institutions Jim Peterson said yesterday. [...]

Peterson said the government plans to adopt tough new weapons to
combat the financing of terrorism, possibly through an omnibus bill.
Among the possible measures is extending the system that combats
money-laundering to tracking terrorist funds, he said. While Peterson
said the new rules are almost ready and should be introduced soon,
neither he nor Justice Minister Anne McLellan could pinpoint a date.
[...]

McLellan said the legislation she is preparing will also deal with
such issues as lawful access, encryption, decryption and electronic
surveillance. [...] McLellan said she will meet with a number of
European counterparts today and U.S counterparts next week to try to
co-ordinate Canada's legislation with theirs. [...]
