The exemptions that were really very clear from the outset were, for example, foreign diplomats and the arrangements to which the Crown is a party. There were already very well-established exemptions that we could include in the act.
However, adding exemptions through regulations makes more sense. It allows us to evolve more quickly. It allows us to adapt to a changing situation. It's easier to make a regulatory change than a legislative change. This is also true when it comes to the information that must be given to the commissioner and that will be made public by the registry. It's more flexible to specify it by regulation than in the act.
