Thank you.
Very quickly, I'll add to what Mr. Orr has said.
That example you've given, sir, is a perfect example, I think, of the position that innocent people are put in, certainly by ghost consultants, or by people who we would call the “crooked consultants”. You're right. People have a choice to make. Do they disclose this to the RCMP? If they think there is fraud going on or they are being coerced or what have you, that is an option, as are your local police.
Mr. Orr was correct in saying that if this is a consultant who is registered, there is a complaints process there. Also, our department has the ability to take forward complaints to the regulatory body. If the consultant, or “crooked consultant”, as you call it, is a member of a bar and is a lawyer, you can actually disclose to the bar. There are avenues to take, but there are not a lot and I think the individual is put in a very difficult situation.
Raising awareness with certain authorities can help move cases like that forward. What we've found in several cases is that it's not just about one person. There are multiple people who are being “abused” by this process. We have put forward examples like this in the past that have had some positive outcomes, but they have taken time and it has taken some courageous people to stand up and say, “Enough's enough.”
