It doesn't need to, but I want to get to what the RCMP could do or should do. How could these documents be used in any investigation?
We have the RCMP commissioner saying:
...the RCMP's ability to receive and use information obtained through this production order and under the compulsory powers afforded by the Auditor General Act in the course of a criminal investigation could give rise to concerns under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is therefore highly unlikely that any information obtained by the RCMP under the motion where privacy interests exist could be used to support a criminal prosecution or further a criminal investigation.
If I'm defence counsel and there's been no search warrant approved on reasonable grounds, will my client's charter rights have been circumvented?
