Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome, Mr. Jordan. In your opening statement you talked about the lobbying commissioner's ability to investigate. The commissioner can only investigate if she receives tips from individuals. It's very difficult for the lobbying commissioner to find out where there might be a breach. She sees the reporting, but is there lobbying going on that is not being reported?
Do you think we can tighten up on that a bit? How do we make both sides more accountable?
I've asked the question about reporting on the office-holder side. They report. The lobbyist reports. You compare notes, and if there's a consistent absence of reporting on one side or the other then there might be some reason to investigate.
I think you also said that this was in Bill C-2, the previous bill, but it didn't make it into the final draft.
Do you have any comments?
