Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here.
One of the areas you touched on is something I have asked several questions on, especially to FINTRAC, in terms of accountability when they put together a report and send it to the police or to investigators. I don't think even FINTRAC knows if it's then taken on.
It sounds as though, based on earlier testimony, FINTRAC believes it has the resources to handle the claims or the issues coming in. But one of the areas I was curious about—so I appreciate your testimony—is how anybody know, even if CSIS were to provide FINTRAC with information, that they then put that into a report and pass it on. How do we know if anybody is actually acting on that once FINTRAC makes the report?
With that being said, something raised in testimony was about the federal committee on public safety and the possibility of oversight opportunities there. I can't predict what the recommendations from this committee would be or even what the government's actions would be.
What would be the role, then, for provincial and territorial governments? You mentioned the frustration of not knowing if the police you are responsible for are acting on this. Have you given any thought to a potential role for that oversight, keeping in mind, for example, that a committee might be given that oversight role in the future?
If you haven't given that any thought, that's totally fine. I'm just kind of wrestling with how we deal with it from the national perspective while keeping in mind that police forces fall under provincial and territorial jurisdictions, in some instances.
How do we work together? Do you have any thoughts on working together and on how to close that gap?
