Thank you for that.
If I have a couple more minutes, I'd like to turn attention to the fact that there are some other concerns--and I've voiced them before with your colleague--about making sure there is still an avenue for people to appeal after that fact, notwithstanding that there is this tribunal proposed.
But I'm going to turn my attention now to lobbying. There has been a lot of discussion in this town about how to strengthen the Lobbyists Registration Act and to have further oversight. Indeed, it's in this tome right here.
My concern is something that had been proposed by my predecessor, Ed Broadbent, and that is that when someone has been lobbying government they should not be in the queue or be given government contracts. I think the reason is pretty obvious, that if you have this kind of revolving door....
In fact, I've spoken to a couple of people in this town who lobby government, and they said that it's pretty clear: you decide what you're going to do, you set up an office and a business, you stick to that, and you don't have the.... It should be a separate circle instead of a vend diagram between someone who is being paid to lobby government and who then turns around and receives government contracts.
So to have clear lines here in terms of who does what and who receives government contracts--I'm just wondering if you could speak to that.
