Dr. David McFadden:

We did not have cause to make those referrals at that time. I am not aware they were made in the years immediately prior to my joining the office. It is something we have been doing recently under the Act. When we were examining the problems brought to our attention related to the establishment of companies where there was abuse of directors’ identities or addresses have been questionable, we started looking at how this might be addressed, what offences might have been committed and among those, one of the serious ones is the provision of false information to the Registrar of Companies. Under that heading, there are two potential offences in respect of which we have made referrals to the ODCE.
