That would be something to consider. I don't have the exact formula in my head. I know that some of them actually have 100 hours. One of the provinces includes preparation and so on, and it is explicitly in the act. When are they hitting the 100 hours? Is it hitting the 100 hours within a month or six months? My concern, maybe, with going strictly with hours is looking at what time period those hours are going to occur in. If you say 100 hours over six months, then you may not get certain groups registering. I think, again, when you're looking at the purpose of the Lobbying Act in terms of giving Canadians confidence in the integrity of government decision-making, things that are actually occurring need to be transparent.
If the suggestion by Parliament is to replace significant amount of duties with hours, then I would want to discuss limiting the hours and maybe the period of time during which they occur.
