I will give you a very simple way. Go to the Federal Court of Canada and get the registrar to pull out for you all the John Doe orders that have been rendered by the Federal Court. A John Doe order is an order that's rendered by the Federal Court of Canada. It orders infringers to deliver up counterfeit goods.
Incidentally, it's a uniquely Canadian remedy, one for which we're known. It originated in the U.K. in a decision rendered by the House of Lords, but it was imported into Canada. Our uniqueness is that John Doe orders are applicable across the country. In no other common law jurisdictions do you have one order that can be applicable in a whole country; usually it's limited territorially.
You go to the Federal Court and you get a list of all the John Doe orders that have been granted by the Federal Court. The first one was granted in 1982. That's quite some time ago. Then, under each of those orders, you look at how many counterfeit items were seized every year. I'm telling you already that it's a very daunting task. I've been in charge of John Doe orders in my firm, Ogilvy Renault, since 1997, and I keep that sort of record. In 1982 I wasn't even in law school yet.
That would be a way for you to know the extent of the counterfeits that were caught—caught—on the market for a given period.
It will be a very lengthy process. You are only going to get the tip of the iceberg. When you seize a counterfeiter, usually he hides the bulk of his stock; you only get a fraction of it. So whatever amount you get, multiply it by a factor that I cannot quantify, but which I can say would be substantial.
