Based on historical data from our investigations, 23 of the 24 investigations we've conducted since 2010 or 2012 were referred to us by the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying.
However, that doesn't prevent the RCMP from investigating some situations as well. In the course of investigations, we may find certain information. We have some expertise within the unit when it comes to the Lobbying Act. As a result, investigators are very aware of potential violations. If it is determined that there could be an offence, we will investigate the situation.
