Mr. Lynam, we heard from you this morning—and the CRTC told us the same thing last week—that only approximately 10% to 15% of victims of fraudulent calls file a report.
The question in my mind is how legislators can help increase those reporting numbers. The current process of having to contact the CRTC and complete a form is very onerous for victims.
What if there were a national automated system that all carriers were obligated to implement, through which simply using a code such as *555 would immediately end and block the fraudulent call? It would be reported immediately and it would help us track and trace these calls.
Has that type of system solution been considered?
