No. As I mentioned earlier, the centre does not provide outcome measures in its report. They say that the ultimate objective is to improve public safety, and in the report, they indicate that they must produce what they call a results chain, in other words, some performance measures that lead toward public safety. There is no direct link between the two, and because of several factors, it would be very difficult to say if the registry has a direct impact on public safety, but there could be other indicators, such as use of the registry by police forces or a survey of police forces on the usefulness of the registry. They could provide examples of situations where the registry was helpful to them. Unfortunately, no such indicators were established. They recognize that they must establish some, and will start working on that. That is a major aspect that currently does not exist.
