Public Accounts committee  It could. I think that's what we've said about leads. When somebody gives us a lead—

Public Accounts committee  I'm not going to comment on either of those specific circumstances. There are some things that are in the court that are on the public record. My point to you is that when we hear about things, either through our own work or elsewhere, that cause us to think there might be somet

Public Accounts committee  Yes, there are consequences related to improper receipts. Sanctions are possible. However, in terms of the other aspects we've talked about, in the case of minor offences, it is possible for sanctions not to be imposed. More serious sanctions can be imposed when the offence is m

Public Accounts committee  If I understand the question correctly, yes, we do get leads, and if you're asking if we proactively go and look for stuff, yes. We monitor.

Public Accounts committee  Yes, circumstances. We have intelligence about what's going on out there and we try to use that intelligence to try to dictate where we are best placed to put our resources to examine further what—

Public Accounts committee  Maybe the most productive thing to do—I'll put Sharmila on the spot, perhaps, or Geoff—would be to ask what some of the things are that would catch our attention. I'd rather—

Bob Hamilton

Public Accounts committee  Yes, there's definitely a process for them. If we are investigating a lead, say, they would have an opportunity to talk to us and give their perspective.
