Thank you.

In your report you indicate that the total number of paid lobbyists dropped between 2007-08 and 2008-09. You indicate a 17% drop in the number of paid lobbyists for corporations and a 10% drop in lobbyists working for organizations.

Why do you suspect this decline took place? Do you have any ideas on that?
