Canada on track to curb terrorism
[October 4, 2001 - 10:45 GMT]

The Canadian government has introduced new laws to curb terrorism funding and freeze the assets of 22 individual groups listed on par with that of the US Government.

The Canadian Government announced these tough regulations, which are inline with the September 28, UN Resolution on curbing terrorist funding.

"The ability to freeze assets is a powerful tool in combatting terrorist financing," Finance Minister Paul Martin said. "By cutting off terrorists from access to funding, their activities are impaired."
