Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Sections 20B and 20C refer to section 20D in terms of notice of a restriction of licence. S ection 20D says “the competent authority shall give to the person . . . a warning notice under section 24A. ” And I know we have not gotten to section 24A, but I need to refer to that …

Okay. So section 24A talks about w here a competent authority imposes a penalty or takes action, they must issue a warning notice, and then it sets up all the other things. The other thing that section 24A says is that the person i s able to make representations to the competent authority. Does section 24A referred to in section …

My question was whether or not a person who commits an offence under [sections] 20C and 20B has a r ight to appeal to the competent authority? Under [section] 20A, 20G, and something else, they do, but it does not specify. The clauses reference [section] 24A only. It does not say whether or not a person has a right of …

Section 20B . . . and 20C, on pages 5 and 6. And then sections 20B and 20C refer to section 20D. And [section] 20D refers to section 24A. So my question is, under [section] 24A, does a person who has their licence restricted or revoked have the ability to go to the competent authority and have a right of …

Yes, section 24A, which is on page 10. Hon. Kim N. Wilson: Yes, that is correct. They do have the power to appeal to the competent authority. Mr. Chairman, may I proceed?

Mr. S peaker, I am going to attempt to answer my colleague’s question. Generally, when you are forming a charity, whether it is private or otherwise, you have whatever document that you are going to use to form your char i-ty, whether it is a trust, whether it is a company limited by guarantee, whether it is . . . …

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I understand what my co lleague across the aisle is saying in terms of what we are doing for CFATF. I get it. What I do not understand is how they came to the determination that pr ivately funded charities create a vulnerability, because it is not money that is solicited from the public. …

So, my suggested amendment is that [section] 18(4)(a)(i) of the principal Act be amended [to] say, “In the case of a trust, at least one of the trustees, protectors, enforcers, administrators, or anti -money laundering officers is licensed under the Trusts (Regulation of Tr ust Business) Act 2001, or is a financial institution as defined in the third schedule to …

Mr. Chairman, with all due r espect, they can be a licensed entity. If you have an enforcer or protector company, and that entity is under a corporate service provider, then that corporate service prov ider is a licensed entity and can provide what you need.

You are a Trekkie? Oh, okay. Anyway, Mr. Speaker, I am not a Trekkie. But I think that the quote is appropriate. I have, for the past month and a half, I guess, attended three differ-ent conferences. And at each of those conferences there was always a forum on cryptocurrency, bloc kchain, and bitcoin. And I do not know if …
