Certainly.
In that role, which I held for about two and a half years, I supported the government with advice on different matters relevant to financial sector policy. During those times, I led in terms of cybersecurity issues for the financial sector, including some of the earliest serious cyber-incidents at BMO, Simplii and Desjardins. I also led on anti-money laundering policy, which I then followed into FINTRAC on an operational basis with my current role. I worked on the negotiation of the CUSMA chapter related to financial sector policy.
I think that the aspect of understanding the financial sector well in terms of how regulation affects its ability to lend to businesses and consumers in a much more up-close way is also something I would take into the role of Parliamentary Budget Officer.
