RCMP Sgt Tony Kosij testified he would pass confidential income tax information to nearly any Mountie in a criminal case. He said 75 Mounties are authorized under the Income Tax Act to access such data, for targeting organized crime, yet evidence showed data given to other RCMP sections and even without clear criminal links. Sopinka pressed whether police assume guilt, Kosij said inquiries require some basis for suspicion.
