The problem is that any solution brings its own issues and unintended consequences. If, as the bill was originally written, both sides independently file registrations, then at the end of each month—because it's all computerized and the computer system is working really well—the lobby commissioner could probably just get a printout of one-sided meetings. Either somebody who had a meeting filed from the bureaucratic political side and the participants from the lobbyist side didn't file, or the lobbyist filed and the bureaucrat didn't file. Then you could focus your time on sorting those out.
Right now the lobby registrar's office gets a number of filings every month. There's no way to know whether that reflects reality. Somebody who doesn't register isn't going to show up unless something happens that gets the commissioner's attention. For example, I think a couple of months ago an organization sent out letters to MPs stating a case and asking for a meeting, and they weren't a registered organization. Somebody must have checked and made a complaint, and I think they subsequently registered. But if that's the process for enforcement, it's not a very good process; it's not a very efficient process.
