The models everyone will go to are those of the United States—they've been doing it since the thirties—Australia and the U.K.
When it comes down to it, it's about being crisp about the fact that we're not talking about communities; we're not talking about individuals. We're talking about people who are in association with a foreign principal to undertake activities in Canada. It is country-neutral; it does not matter which country we're talking about. That's the thing we need to make clear.
As for my point about the online portal and registration, we have to make it practical; we have to make it doable and easy for people to do, because what we want to be able to do.... It's like Al Capone. They didn't catch Al Capone for murder; they got him on tax evasion. The point is to figure out who's doing this stuff, and then you can nick them for not registering. Make the process easy so that there's no possible defence, such as that they couldn't possibly have registered because the website didn't work.
Make it super easy so that you can find out who's not registering, and then hit them as quickly as you possibly can with an administrative monetary penalty, a notice of non-compliance and then, if they mess around, a criminal sanction.
