Sure. Actually, I might address one of your questions. I wouldn't want to leave the committee with the impression that police aren't heavily focused on investigating fraudsters and cybercriminals. The mandate of the CAFC and the NC3 is very much about enabling law enforcement agencies in Canada to do those investigations, and the federal policing part of the RCMP as well. There are many investigations under way. I wanted to point out that we don't just do that; we have other activities.
In terms of information sharing with the CRTC and other entities, we operate under what our authorities are in terms of sharing. There is some information we can share with the CRTC and vice versa. Almost any agency would say it can improve information sharing across the board and that would make things better, but there are many opportunities where we share now.
When it comes to private sector entities, like telecommunications companies and financial institutions, we have to be governed by how police operate. If we need information from the police, we often have to get a production order or other type of measure.
There are many opportunities or times when a bank will come to us as a victim and say, “We think we've been victimized,” or, “Some of our clients have been victimized.” There is regular communication, and we have talked about some of the outreach we do when we come across stuff that we think is impacting their clients.
Generally, yes, there is always scope for improved information sharing.
