That is an excellent question. You should probably ask FINTRAC why it has taken so long.
The system was part of a cyber-incident and taken off-line in order to safeguard the data in it and the other systems of the centre. It took a while for them to find a temporary workaround solution. There are about 2,500 registrations sitting in a backlog. The centre has a team dedicated to trying to address those. That team is getting through about 150 cases a week, but it's a long time to wait to be able to register. You need a registration in order to be able to operate legally in Canada, if you want a bank account and things like that.
It is important that they get to how to better leverage technology so that they can move away from these temporary manual solutions.
