As far as this bill is concerned, we have most of the responsibility. We are responsible for prosecutions in the case of an offence. If someone is sending spam, it may contain misleading advertising and the Competition Bureau would need this. Rather than start its own enquiry, the Bureau may inform us that it has received complaints about this individual. If the Bureau is aware of the fact that we are in the process of prosecuting the individual for sending spam, it can seek our permission to obtain the information we have in order to determine whether or not there are grounds for a charge of misleading advertising. That is one example.
In most cases, there will be separate and targeted legal proceedings for specific offences. Nevertheless, in cases where there are two aspects to the offence, we may share the information.
