Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for coming today. It's a pleasure to have you here. I'm glad we could get to some of our witness hearings.
Mr. Cochrane, I wanted to touch base on where my colleague Mr. Baker left off with respect to the beneficial registry. As we understand, the registry that the government is introducing will not be searchable—at least not at the beginning. It is intended to be made searchable.
Can you talk about how important it would be to have that registry be publicly available, free and accessible?
