I have a letter from Dean Buzza from approximately December 13, 2008. It was in response to our request on behalf of a number of ABCP victims that the RCMP conduct a criminal investigation of the asset-backed commercial paper on the basis of our allegations of fraud with respect to the contracting of the ABCP. In that letter he defines what are the procedures of the RCMP, and it's very clearly stated--and I can table it with the committee--that no commander unit of the RCMP will conduct an investigation of a securities crime complaint until it has been referred, by requirement of the federal government, whoever that is...it must go to the joint consultation unit.
On April 23rd, 2009. See this statement in context.
