CHARLOTTETOWN–Prince Edward Island needs a new approach to land acquisition regulations amid today’s national security realities and Beijing’s subversion attempts, a former senior officer with the RCMP told a provincial hearing in Charlottetown on July 6.
Gary Clement, a former national director for the RCMP’s Proceeds of Crime program, said that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is “one of the most ruthless transnational organized crime groups we’ve ever faced,” and that the province needs a more comprehensive approach when it comes to land ownership issues to protect public interest.
