Thank you very much, Madam Chairman.
You hear some talk about the cooling-off period and the five-year restriction placed on it. I find it a bit ironic that there's a five-year cooling-off period on parliamentarians going to government relations firms under the current legislation but nothing prohibiting lobbyists from running for leadership of political parties, like Mr. Topp or others running in the NDP leadership campaign. Certainly they would be beholden to those interests when they come in. It's interesting.
Just a bit for thought there, Chair. I'm doing some name dropping.
