Section 80 did exist, but it was not used. It was revised. There is now an offence for cases where an agent of the Crown commits fraud. It is not up to us to determine whether or not charges should be laid under the Federal Accountability Act or the Criminal Code. Investigators make this decision. We institute legal proceedings, but we do not conduct the inquiry. It is difficult to know whether or not, in the future, investigators will be filing complaints of fraud under the Criminal Code or under the Federal Accountability Act.
