A number of individuals have consulted with the commissioner's office around certain kinds of grey areas involving different kinds of cases that may or may not involve registerable activity--certain kinds of organizations, certain kinds of communications. For example, what exactly is, as the GRIC mentioned, an oral and arranged communication? Under what circumstances is that considered to have taken place?
I've been personally involved on behalf of clients in a number of consultations with her office, and she has made it very clear that even though she has the legislative authority to issue interpretation bulletins, advisory bulletins, and opinions of that nature, she just does not have the time or resources to answer to certain kinds of grey areas. Sometimes that's very critical.... These are not the headline-grabbing cases. These are very complicated cases involving certain kinds of organizations—certain kinds of crown corporations, for example.
