Good afternoon. My thanks to our witnesses for joining us today.
Under the current act, for a company to be found guilty, the crown has to establish a link between Canada and an offence committed in a country other than Canada. Sometimes, the legislation is very specific. Human trafficking, for example, or sex tourism when Canadians go to other countries. The offence is then considered to have been committed in Canada. So these things have to be specifically written into the act. At the moment, it is not mentioned in the CFPOA. In most cases, there has to be a link of that kind.
Can you tell us about the way in which the RCMP can establish such a link? Take, for example, the case of a mining company with activities in other countries that commits an offence, never mind whether it is SNC-Lavalin or anyone else. A link with Canada has to established in order for the company to be found guilty, correct?
