Here's the thing. The Security of Information Act is where we're going to get that enforcement. There's an actual legislative and regulated way you could use.
I know there are a lot of people who want the registry. I think it has merits, but I don't think that it should necessarily be the priority over the legislation. People who are going to put their name on the registry are people who represent some foreign agency, whether it's a Canadian diplomat overseas, a business or whatever, so they're not going to get a fine. There are clandestine actors. If you want to link them to the United Front Work Department, they are not going to be putting their name on a registry. There's no box to tick.
A lot of the most damaging foreign interference activity is clandestine. What it's really going to do—and I think a registry is good—is allow the government to have some control over lobbying and rein it in a bit, because I would have to identify if I am representing a foreign country.
Is it going to really blunt PRC foreign interference in our democratic institutions? In my opinion, it's not.
