Those responses are welcome. I note it was pointed out in the opening statement that it is a criminal offence to provide false information to the CRO. Obviously, as with any law, that is only a deterrent when it is being enforced. I appreciate the CRO has made a number of referrals to the Director of Corporate Enforcement in recent months since this issue gained attention. Can one of the witnesses clarify the number of referrals that were made prior to the recent period? It would be helpful to have clarify on the number of referrals that were made in 2019 and 2020.
