In Canada, the model that was chosen by Parliament is one that restricts access to police, so it is different from the United States, where every state has a publicly available registry. As part of the research we do, of course, you look into why those decisions were made. I think it's important to look at the various reasons why the registries are public.
One of the reasons is, of course, that making the registries public was tied to some federal funding for some unrelated matters. That's the decision the individual states and the U.S. government have made. Again, I would encourage members, as a matter of interest and research, to have a look at those registries.
But no, in Canada the choice was to not have a publicly accessible registry.
