I raise it only because I think, in the issue that was touched on earlier by Mr. Wrzesnewskyj, really there isn't a specific individual who's a public office-holder who is being lobbied. It seems that the culture has morphed itself in a way in which I can effectively do the same thing without going straight to that person. So it's implied lobbying. But you don't have anything under the act that allows you to in fact deal with the avoidance provisions in the Conflict of Interest Act and also in the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament, which are in the Standing Orders. There is also a similar thing. It's either section 25 or 26 under the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament, anti-avoidance provisions or evasion provisions. I think that's probably something the committee may want to look at, simply because if they can't get it this way, the system seems to find another way to get what they want, and it is a difference in your act, or an addition in the Conflict of Interest Act that is not in your act. And you know how long it takes to amend legislation in this place.
