Often it's for unique information that results in recovery. We have something similar with the....I won't call it a snitch line, because that's the wrong word for a whistle-blower advocate to use, but the informant line for the CRA. The securities commission is experimenting with this as well. They're doing it because it's successful in other jurisdictions. Usually it's 10%. The highest I've heard is 30%. That's in the United States, and only if the person takes care of the whole prosecution, which rarely happens.
