Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Of course, the CBSA will do its best to get any and all information related to the number of investigations, prosecutions, etc., over that time period. What I would just suggest to the committee, for awareness, is that it's very complex and particularly manually intensive. Due to changing circumstances with a case or criminal investigation or an immigration or IRPA-related investigation, not all of the cases will go through to the end. The statistics aren't going to be as finite as I'm sure the committee would want, Mr. Chair. In many cases, perhaps the person that is the victim or the smuggler might leave or there might be extraterritorial charges that were not brought before the Crown because there was no probability of successful prosecution.
What I would say is that, given the multi-year and the manual and complex nature of aggregating data of that nature, there will be a certain amount of, I would say, reduced fidelity to the information. Again, we'll do our best, but again, similar to victims as opposed to offenders in crimes, a lot of these are information and data that we may not be able to actually pull from the systems that are used to accurately track all these important features and events.
