I have questions for the RCMP officers.

How the system works right now is that the banks would flag suspicious transactions to FINTRAC, and FINTRAC could make referrals to the RCMP for further investigations. What we are seeing is that there are millions of reports being made to FINTRAC and transferred to the RCMP, but we see a very low conversion rate of reports that really get into some kind of investigation.

What are the barriers that stop more investigations from being conducted and what reforms are necessary?

See context to find out what was said next.
