Mr. Speaker, Canada now has an office dedicated to increasing transparency around foreign influence activities. The office is now fully operational, with Mr. Boegman being at the helm. This is a major step for Canada.
The registry will be a tool to hold individuals and entities accountable for conduct of influence on behalf of foreign entities. It will provide more transparency for Canadians, and it is a testament to the principles of protecting Canadians, defending our democracy and upholding the rule of law.
