Mr. Chairman, I tend to agree with you on your point about the six months.
As you pointed out, sir, if your assignment is finished there is the obligation to notify. An educational program could certainly do that, and maybe even some fines for not showing that the assignment has been completed. I think this would be a simpler system. I think there's merit in looking further into this.
If I'm a director of a corporation and I'm paid to attend five or six board meetings a year, say, and that's all I get, but I undertake then to go and lobby Ottawa on behalf of that corporation, I'm not being paid for that lobbying, and it was in addition to what I was paid for, so I would not be a lobbyist that would have to register.
