On behalf of the Canadian Association of the Chiefs of Police, we are very much in support of automatic inclusion, and the theory behind that is that the registration process is done on an annual basis. It's done in a private setting; it doesn't take a lot of time. However, it does provide law enforcement agencies with very detailed information, as you can see, once a year, and then with verification as well.
Having that information can assist in expediting investigations, and it will also greatly assist in eliminating persons of interest. Having that information within the database, through automatic inclusion, is very helpful to expedite investigations. Therefore, we're in support of automatic inclusion.
