Thank you, witnesses.
I know we focus a lot on a beneficial registry around financial transaction issues in organized crime and money laundering. In another committee I sit on, fisheries, we're dealing with the issue of trying to understand who is a beneficial owner of a fisheries licence that is granted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Fisheries and Oceans, in the end, doesn't actually know. That's why, for 17 months, it's been doing a separate beneficial registry survey, which now requires part of it to go through a forensic accountant.
I don't know if it's Ms. Ryan or Mr. Caldera, or which witness wants to speak to the issue of a broader application of this beyond the obvious money laundering issues.
Go ahead, Mr. Cohen.
