I would think that sometimes the administrative monetary penalities should be much higher. In the case of Mr. Jaffer and Mr. Glémaud, they were looking at $178 million in contracts. Flying below the radar was well worth it for them because the risks were fairly minor. The only penalty you could impose is making them write an essay.
With no disrespect to education and writing essays, when I was in primary school Sister Frances Margaret used to have me write lines on the blackboard all the time and it never actually changed my behaviour to any degree. Making Mr. Jaffer write lines on the blackboard for a contract of $178 million I think he would have figured was well worth his time.
We had a situation with Mr. Glémaud, who was a failed Conservative candidate, and Mr. Jaffer, who knew all kinds of people in the Conservative Party, that they were buying influence. The fact that they didn't end up making money on it is neither here nor there; they probably weren't very good at it.
This is my concern. How do we ensure that people aren't able to trade on their influence, trade on who they know, open doors unfairly and get ahead of a process, when other people are playing by the rules? You talked about who this legislation should capture and you mentioned that the names of those who are engaged on behalf of a corporation should be listed. Would that help us to raise the red flags so we can weed these kinds of characters out?
