Thank you so much, Chair. It's a real privilege to be on this committee today. I have big shoes to fill, as you all know.
My first question relates to division 30 of the BIA, which amends the Canada Business Corporations Act.
It's my understanding that this section would establish a public and searchable beneficial ownership registry. I'm hoping that officials will be able to describe what the changes to the legislation will accomplish to get us closer to establishing that.
