I appreciate the witnesses being here today. It's good to see you again, Bruce, and the commissioner as well. Thank you for your time.
I have a couple of technical questions, probably following from some of the ones that have been asked today. Our government introduced what I certainly will argue, and what could be argued, is the toughest anti-corruption law in Canadian history vis-à-vis the Federal Accountability Act. This introduced tough new reporting standards for lobbyists, and it required that they report to you, an independent commissioner of lobbying.
With that in mind, we sometimes hear that it's hard to define lobbyists. I think the act goes to some length to do that.
Do you have a definition of each kind of lobbyist that the act contemplates? I was wondering if you could share those definitions with the committee so we can understand the important technical distinctions that we're working through today and how they're interpreted.
