It's also interesting to note that the Conservative government has never implemented the regulations to tie a bell around lobbyists' necks that we passed in the Federal Accountability Act just one year ago. The anniversary is Wednesday, I believe. They've never implemented those changes to try to change the way lobbying is done in this country.
The difference between lobbying and influence peddling, they say, is about five years in prison. Do you believe that the type of lobbying undergone or taken up by the Fred Doucets of the world more accurately should be described as influence peddling?
