If a parliamentary secretary has been delegated authority for any activity by a minister, I take it that activity doesn't meet the criteria of the Lobbying Act. Should it meet the criteria?
From having been in government, I know that ministers and parliamentary secretaries don't all work the same. Pierre throws spears for the Prime Minister lots of times. There are others who are quite quiet. But every minister operates differently with their parliamentary secretary. Some give them lots of authority and some give them none.
If a parliamentary secretary has been designated certain files, be they on infrastructure or anything else, does that activity fall under the Lobbying Act now? You may not want to answer this, but from your point of view, should it?
