Mr. Speaker, I had the privilege of working with the hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby for many, many years. In fact, when I first landed in B.C., it was in New Westminster. To answer his question, yes, I am also actively advocating that the foreign registry should come into effect immediately. I would also like to thank the hon. member from the NDP for seconding this, as well as the NDP for supporting the motion.

Mr. Speaker, the Hogue commission's initial report unequivocally reveals the magnitude of foreign interference in our elections. Today, the government will be introducing a bill that contains measures for countering this interference. Better late than never. However, if the government wants to prove that it means business, it will have to create, at long last, the foreign agent registry that everyone is calling for. The Bloc Québécois intends to introduce a bill to create a binding registry, although nothing is stopping the federal government from moving forward today. Will the minister agree to pass legislation creating a binding foreign agent registry?
