Wayne Easter at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I'll come back to the questions the chair raised earlier on penalties and decisions in investigations.

I imagine you have fairly extensive knowledge about other lobbying commissioners in other jurisdictions. Can you give us examples of how the powers of investigation in other jurisdictions compare with yours? Are there models in Canada or elsewhere that we could use as examples--what I think the chair was pointing out earlier--that provide some consequences for violations of the code or the Lobbying Act?
