My colleague Ms. Fancy asked you how you measure success, but do you think the implementation of the registry will earn public trust, and if so, to what extent?
Assistant Deputy Minister, National and Cyber Security Branch, Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
I believe so.
First of all, we will have a regime in place that will have an influence or be able to monitor an area that is a bit vague in the Canadian political space. There will be more clarity. We also have a commissioner who has a great deal of credibility, who will be able to speak properly to the public and who has a great deal of experience in these matters.
In my opinion, yes, it will increase Canadians' trust in institutions.

The Chair Liberal Chris Bittle
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Madam Brière.
I would like to thank our witness for being here.
Using the chair's prerogative before we adjourn, I want to take a moment on behalf of all the members to say a word of thanks. As most of you in the room know, this is Christine's last meeting with us as clerk. I've been an MP for many years, and this is my first year as a chair. It has been incredibly smooth, and that is only because of Christine and her work. If things have run smoothly in this committee, it is because of her. If things have not run smoothly, it is because of me.
She agrees. Yes. It is agreed and so ordered.
I want to say thank you. This has been a much easier experience. They did the wide shot. I like this. She's hating all of this, but I want to say thank you. This has been an incredible opportunity, and you have done incredible work for this committee. Dealing with this many members of Parliament is never easy, and I appreciate you herding the cats for this year. On behalf of everyone—it will probably be the only time I get to speak on behalf of everyone—I thank you and wish you all the best in whatever comes next.
