That is interesting because, during my outreach, I talked to officials of the 20 departments where there is the most lobbying activity. That was just after Parliament had decided to include the parliamentary secretaries in the definition of public office holders. The government said it would look at the issue and might expand the definition to include senators. After that announcement, I met with Mr. Day to talk about the legislation and I took that opportunity to indicate that if the government only had included that to the definition, the registry system would have been able to accommodate the change. That is the only recommendation I made.
