We started to go back. We now have a new set of data analytical tools. We use all kinds of different software. We're now looking holistically across the Government of Canada to see where there is time fraud. We're looking at different contracts. We see the consultants underneath them. We see if they're working concurrently, for example, at the OAG or PSPC, and we identify time fraud. There's a methodology that goes with it.
The cases in which we see it's intentional and there's fraud get referred to the RCMP. Since we started doing this work, Madame Poulin has referred about seven cases to the RCMP.
There is also an association of restitution. They owe us money for the time fraud. Again, we've started to go to the contractors—our relationship is with the prime—to indicate that they had a resource that was cleared and doing work but was defrauding the Crown.
We put together a restitution package, as I noted earlier, before departments go after the fraud individually. It was not an efficient way to do it. Under the leadership of Madame Poulin.... She's put together a team to go out, negotiate with and advise contractors who don't know—I think that has been your experience—that they're involved in fraud or that the resources they've cleared or have working are involved in fraud. We then negotiate to get the monies back. I think this approach started in about June.
