The question that I'd be interested in is this. You talk a lot about private contractors. In the United States there was a lot of concern about private contractors and there was argumentation that private contractors were ripping off the American taxpayer. So the progressive left in that country, led by a lot of unions and activists, got together and pushed the rebirth of the informers act, which allowed individual citizens to actually sue private contractors who were defrauding the government. The government in many cases didn't have the political will to sue them themselves. If the judge found that there was a fraud, the judge could award repayment of three times what the contractor allegedly stole, or ultimately did steal, and the citizen who brought forward the act would receive a commission of 30% of what was taken. Since that time, the American treasury has recovered $10 billion through the actions of private citizens, and 80% of those dollars came from defence contractors and private health care companies.
I'm wondering what you think about importing that idea into Canada, of bringing in an informers act that would allow organizations like yours to take to court contractors who are committing fraud against the Government of Canada, or against Canada Post, for example, to see that money recovered, and then your organization would have your costs covered, and more, through a system of awards. Does that policy idea interest any of you?
