No, we do not aggregate those costs. We don't have those figures. We understand that the private sector is investing heavily in compliance matters, and we are very sympathetic to this expense. That's why we're trying to alleviate their burden as much as possible.
An example of that, if I can offer one, is Project Protect. Again, what we did, essentially, was sit down with the reporting entities, particularly in the banking sector, and identify to them the types of transactions that would be the most meaningful to report to FINTRAC in the context of human trafficking. What was distributed to committee members before this meeting is about Project Guardian, which is in the same vein.
If we're talking about the trafficking of illicit opioids and fentanyl, what we did essentially was sit down with the banking community and major money services businesses to identify what would be the most meaningful information to provide to FINTRAC to help us combat money laundering in the illegal opioid field. Recognizing the cost of compliance, we keep an open dialogue—and what we think is a positive dialogue—with the private sector to make sure that we achieve the right balance of keeping the country and Canadians safe while combatting money laundering, terrorist financing, and other threats to the security of the country, and protecting the privacy of citizens, all while making sure that the private sector does not bear all the costs of compliance to the regime.
It is a fair question, and this is something we take very seriously at FINTRAC.
