Thank you very much.
I would like to welcome the assistant deputy minister.
I'd like to follow this line of questioning from a different slant.
As a former educator who's done a lot of policy development and program development, I'm looking at a lot of what we've done here with the registry in preparation for today. There's a thing on the education side of programs and policy development called backwards design, where you look at your co-created criteria with goals. What's our goal? How do we assess those goals? What are those regulations, or, in this case, the registry, as we call it, the lesson plan? What's the plan? Then you roll back to how to staff for that plan, how to create those regulations and how to follow the policy. In this case, our first step was appointing that commissioner.
Based on where we are and what I'd call the backwards design plan, we Canadians want confidence that decisions affecting our communities are being made openly in Canada's interest. As this registry is implemented, how do you measure success? What are those indicators that will demonstrate we're improving transparency and public trust in our democratic institutions?
