Welcome, everybody, to our continuing statutory review of the Lobbying Act.
Before we begin I want to welcome a number of guests. I won't go through the whole list, but we have the intergovernmental affairs and justice committee from Saskatchewan here. Welcome. They've been given an opportunity to observe our proceedings today, and they're at the back of the room.
I understand that our witnesses are all well aware that they have ten minutes to present. And when you present, please introduce any other members you have brought with you.
Who would like to start? Mr. Wilkinson.
When we go to the question-and-answer period after your presentations, the seven minutes that the members have in the first round includes their question and your response.
Mr. Wilkinson, please proceed.
