The sense I'm getting then, and it's what we expected, is that your agencies are obviously involved in an awful lot of things other than simply cracking down on crooked consultants. I think the express desire of all us around this table is that we need to crack down on fraudulent ghost consultants.
The CSIC and the current regulator have made it very clear, and we've seen it very clearly, that the responsibility for ghost consultants lies squarely on your shoulders. It's not the regulator that gets to go after them.
With this bill, the Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act, and the fact that we know there are anywhere from an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 ghost consultants working out there, and that we have 36 active investigations, and maybe 55 cases since 2008, and maybe a large handful more from the RCMP, we're a long way from the 4,000 necessary.
Because we're cracking down on the crooked consultants, I'd like to know from each of you, how many extra resources are going to be afforded to you by this bill to crack down on crooked consultants?
