68Investigation by Registrar

#### 68 Investigation by Registrar (1) The Registrar may investigate the affairs of an Aboriginal corporation if the Registrar suspects on reasonable grounds that: (a) the corporation has failed to comply with a provision of this Act, the regulations or the Rules of the corporation; or (b) there has been an irregularity in the corporation’s financial affairs. (2) For the purposes of the investigation, the Registrar may, by notice in writing given to a person whom the Registrar believes to have some knowledge of the affairs of the corporation, require that person to attend before the Registrar at a time and place specified in the notice and there to answer such questions, and produce such documents in the possession of the person, or to which the person has access, as the Registrar considers necessary. (3) A person is not excused from answering a question or producing a document when required to do so under subsection (2) on the ground that the answer to the question, or the production of the document, might tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty, but the answer, the production of the document, or anything obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of the answer or the production, is not admissible in evidence against the person in any proceedings, other than proceedings for an offence against section 137.1 of the Criminal Code that relates to this section.
