Further, in the last number of years the Attorney General has enforced new legislation designed to allow the government to take your home, vehicle and monies that are seized when you are arrested. In other words, if you are arrested in a marijuana grow operation and you own that home, you may face the possibility of losing that home to the Canadian Government on account of the home being tainted by criminal activity and or, it being "offence related property."
