Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Scrivens, these are two very different acts that serve different purposes. Part 4 of this bill is enacting a brand new act. It's setting up a registry, which I think is for the transparent foreign interference that is happening. However, these important amendments to the SOIA are attempting to go after the more clandestine, deceptive methods of foreign interference. These acts are serving different purposes.
Would they ever cross each other in any way that causes that kind of confusion, since they're going after two very different things? One is a public registry and one is for serious offences under the SOIA.
