TORONTO (Sputnik) – The Canadian government has introduced legislation allowing it to seize and sell off assets of sanctioned Russians, the National Post reported on Tuesday.
The amendment to Canada’s Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA) was included in the budget implementation bill presented before the House of Commons.
The bill would expand Ottawa’s sanction regime, which until now was limited to freezing assets and banning financial activity of the sanctioned individuals in Canada.
