I'm concerned about economic and political influence and I'm making a recommendation to you on the question of nominees. I'm not a legal specialist, but we're here, in particular, to see what can be done from a legislative standpoint. It's extremely useful to clarify and reinforce the act to prohibit the use of nominees. It's obvious that welfare recipients use nominees when they wind up at the head of large businesses.
I've worked on certain files of people. We have trouble writing about them because they deny they are nominees, but we know they are. There are already statutory provisions prohibiting the use of nominees, and the police are asking that they be reinforced. That's vital because, once it becomes difficult to use nominees and major penalties are imposed, you've just solved part of the problem of the economic and potentially political influence of organized crime.
