Information & Ethics committee Well, I don't know specifically. Paul may know specifically which information you're referring to.

Information & Ethics committee Mr. Chair, I'm very sorry. I just hate the last line, “who this is”. We have no proof as we speak that the leak comes from FINTRAC.

Information & Ethics committee Well, they had already put in place, between the time we conducted the examinations and the time we penalized them—because we have to analyze the results of the examination—a number of mitigation measures to make sure it would not happen again. Will it happen again? The next exa
