On top of any sentence, a court can order that property tied to the offence be forfeited to the federal government. The regulations define what counts as offence-related property and set out how seized property is returned or disposed of.
(1)A court that convicts a person of an offence under this Act may, in addition to any other punishment imposed, order that any offence-related property seized in relation to the offence be forfeited to Her Majesty in right of Canada.
(2)The regulations may define the expression “offence-related property” for the purposes of this section, may provide for any matter relating to the application of this section, and may include provisions respecting the return to their lawful owner, disposition, or disposition of the proceeds of disposition, of offence-related property that has been seized.
