I was going to recommend, for the benefit of committee members, if the committee so chooses, that officials from Treasury Board could be here next week to provide an in camera tutorial to members, just to give them an introduction to the Lobbying Act and to answer any specific questions they have about the Lobbying Act. But, really, it would be just a very basic introduction to what the Lobbying Act is, what it does, who it impacts on, and what the requirements of it are. If members are interested, my understanding is that they would be available to come in Tuesday or Thursday to give a very general, brief overview, so that we might be better prepared for the lobbying commissioner's appearance. But that's entirely up to members of the committee, if they feel they would like that.
