(3) The applicant must, not later than the day after the day of expiry of the warrant or the day after the day on which the warrant was executed, whichever is the earlier, give or transmit to the magistrate:
(a) the form of warrant completed by the applicant; and
(b) if the information referred to in subsection 52(3) was not sworn--that information duly sworn.
