Well, with respect, it's Parliament that decided this, and it is a feature of many legislative regimes.
The way I would look at it, the argument that you're making seems to make more sense for the in-house lobbyist, because when they do the renewal they do a six-month prospectus to say that for the next six months here are the lobbying assignments. Shell Canada, for example, has quite a long registration that says that over the next six months here is where we're going to be talking to government, and here is who we talked to for the last six months. What you've got every six months is sort of a forecast and a verification of where they're going to be lobbying.
