I'm sorry. I don't want to dwell too much on this. The reason I ask the question is, your response is yes. Businesses derive profit from business activity that is regulated under FINTRAC and thus must pay. I think that is what you said.
However, smaller businesses really struggle with compliance that is easier, for economies of scale and expertise, in a large corporation. Regulation eventually—sometimes, in some cases— becomes anti-competitive because of the difficulty that small businesses have with compliance. FINTRAC has been an irritant to many small businesses with their fear of non-compliance, their ability and not always having the right expertise to comply.
I raise it as an issue because I want to know what the compliance meant and what new fees or costs are being imposed through this, but it sounds like that's not yet determined.
