We have seen a drop because of the five-year rule. As a result, fewer people come into the system. Most people who worked on Parliament Hill would become lobbyists after they left. But that isn't allowed anymore. I think the numbers will drop because of that rule.
Another consideration is that there are 5,000 registered lobbyists. My association has 300 members, most of which are large lobbying firms here in Ottawa. On top of that, you have all the big companies. A large number of people are not members of our association, and we do not know who they are.
