Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here. Feel free to answer my questions in the language of your choice.
As witnesses, you are all here of good faith. You may not know this, but the members around the table have finally realized that something needs to be done about this. We aren't here just to approve a report without discussing it. We are here to get something done and fix the problem on our hands. With that in mind, I'd like you to speak honestly and set aside the habit people tend to have here, in Ottawa, of sticking to their own area of expertise and refusing to comment on something they do not know inside and out.
I'd like to commend you, Ms. Crampton, for pointing out that serious challenges stand in the way of fixing the problem.
You said in your opening statement that there are some challenges, and that one of them is sharing vital money laundering information while respecting the privacy rights of Canadians.
If you could imagine that we didn't have privacy concerns, what type of information would you be looking for? Could you respond quickly?
