Historically in the past, when my office has found items that we believed should be referred to the RCMP, we have typically finished our work. At times we might have referenced that we'd referred matters to law enforcement. At other times we might not have. What typically happens is that we will send them a referral letter. They can choose to meet with us and our audit team and talk about our findings and our work. If they would like to see part of our work, they then must send us a summons. I don't know the exact legal term, but they would have to officially request access to our files since our files are protected and we hand them over only if compelled to by law enforcement.
