Typically, the Bureau does not make inquiries known through announcements to the general public due to subsection 10(3) of the Act, which states that all inquiries must be conducted in private, and the confidentiality provisions of the Act (section 29).  There are certain investigative steps, which when taken by the Bureau, make the existence of an investigation public (e.g., filing court orders compelling record production). When this occurs, the Bureau sometimes releases public statements describing the inquiry and court order.
