Bill C-339

SUMMARY

This enactment establishes a process by which the Governor in Council must prepare a list of individuals responsible for the detention, abuse and death of Sergei Magnitsky, for conspiracy to defraud the Russian Federation of taxes paid by the foreign investment company known as Hermitage and for efforts to shield those culpable of these gross violations of human rights. It imposes sanctions on the listed individuals and their family members by providing that they are inadmissible for the purposes of entering or remaining in Canada.
