I've not really seen breaches. We're very cognizant of the fact that the justice system determines what evidence comes in and what evidence gets thrown out. If they feel that information we gleaned required a judicial order, they will dismiss that evidence. We have a watchdog called the justice system when we glean information or gather that open source information and informal information.
That's why I say that there comes a point in time when, all of a sudden, we've gleaned enough information to establish that there is a criminal act or a possible criminal act. Then we use that information, in reality, to write the search warrant. In other words, we can't go with the cart before the horse. What we do is we gather that information. The information we gather informally allows us to develop what we need in order to get a search warrant.
In a lot of cases, as you know, we don't know if a search warrant or a criminal act is in place. It could be just a simple issue. It could be a missing child. It could be a missing person. Or it could be under the national sex offender registry—we want to know if a certain person stayed at a hotel that day, because they shouldn't be travelling outside their jurisdiction without notifying the local authorities, because they need permission to do so. So we need to know if a pedophile stayed in a local hotel that evening, and if we don't have access to that information, or if the hotel interprets PIPEDA, under its present standing, to say that, no, we need a search warrant, well, we have no grounds for a search warrant, because we're fishing. We don't even know if the person stayed there.
I know, being before a justice of the peace.... I mean, search warrants now run eight or nine pages. A part VI could run you 1,000 pages if you want to get a wiretap.
Right now, all we're looking for is that the industry be allowed—and have a little more clarity in the wording—to say that it is permissible to provide us that information. Superintendent Crockett was one of the builders of the national sex offender registry legislation, and of course, Superintendent McColl is doing the missing children and the child exploitation. But I have proceeds-of-crime people here with me as well.
