One of the things that I instituted in the office was what we call a media monitoring. So on a daily basis we're checking just to see references of lobbying. And in further verification, one of the initial checks is to determine whether the individuals or corporations are registered. If they are registered, it's great, and as I've noted, 90% of them are. If they're not, further validation is done through other publicly determined sources to determine, upon further research, if they are mostly volunteers or if they're actually lobbying the provincial governments and not the federal government.
