Yes, absolutely.
I'm a great believer in transparency. If the registry helps with any type of transparency with respect to foreign agents coming into Canada to do whatever they want to do....
Currently, though, on the registry for lobbying, in the scenario you just provided, they would be required to register on the registry of lobbyists if they're communicating on behalf of a foreign agency. We currently have on our registry some consultants who are representing foreign countries, so there will be an overlap.
However, as I was saying, I think the registry for foreign influence will have to.... What's the purpose? The success of that registry will depend on how it's designed and what it aims to cover. Is it just communications with all of you? Is it communications with Canadians? What are the requirements? There will have to be no thresholds. The requirements will need to be very clear, because there will be a lot of organizations, corporations and individuals who will go under the radar if there is a threshold. There should be, as well, enforcement mechanisms and strict sanctions—
