I don't understand any of this, frankly. I find the whole lobbyist registration regime a mystery. It seems pretty straightforward that this is wrong. But you're telling me that it wouldn't be corrected through your avenue of recourse. It would have to be addressed under the very loosey-goosey ethics and conflict of interest guidelines. So there is not much satisfaction from the other end, either.
Actually, when this individual was interviewed by the media and asked whether he thought it was wrong to now be a lobbyist for the very department he had just left three months earlier and used to run, he said, “A guy has to make a living.” So, in other words, he knew that nobody could get him from your end or from the other end. So that's not very satisfactory.
