Again, in our investigations, we use the tools set out in the Criminal Code to determine whether there is sufficient evidence.
For example, an increase in costs for a given project isn't necessarily criminal. A situation where public funds have been mismanaged isn't necessarily criminal. There are mechanisms available to the government in certain situations involving non-criminal behaviour that allow it to recover funds.
As for us, we deal primarily with criminal investigations. We rely on the evidence required by the Criminal Code. We try to determine whether the threshold is met and whether there is sufficient evidence to lay charges. Again, we have to operate within the constraints we're subject to.
