I can. I'll give you my interpretation of that, certainly, and then I'll ask my colleague to join in if I have missed anything.
I think the short answer is really that with respect to the criminal justice system in Canada it is quite decentralized, so there is no central repository for criminal records. Those records may be held by the RCMP in their national repository. They may also be held by provinces and territories or at a local courthouse. There is no guarantee, then, that the RCMP will have all of that information.
The purpose of the local police records check is to do one other step of verification to ensure there is no other conviction on the person's record that we have not been made aware of and that the RCMP may not hold. It's possible that someone may have an additional summary conviction offence that did not show up on the repository that's held by the RCMP. It's a matter of due diligence to find out that there is not some other conviction that we're not aware of.
