CSIC doesn't have the power to prosecute the unauthorized representatives at this moment because of the construction of the model. One suggestion was that regulations be changed to incorporate. That was one suggestion. The approach CSIC has been taking to this point in time has been to refer matters to other government agencies. Matters of individuals who have been practising as unauthorized representatives have not been referred to the law society, but they have been referred to local police organizations or to the CBSA. Once we refer them, we provide the particular organization with as much background as we can so they can pursue them within their jurisdiction, because CSIC doesn't have that particular ability.
