Bill C-22 introduced changes to Canada's Criminal Code and proceeds of crime laws that could result in charges against public accountants who accept payments from clients that are derived from criminal activities, even if they were not directly involved or aware of the illegal activities. This is intended to prevent money laundering and other criminal activities by making it more difficult for criminals to use legitimate businesses and professionals to launder their profits.
