Thank you, Madam Chair.

It's clear, as Mr. Conacher said, that this act has far too many loopholes. The Conservative government is being lax when it comes to lobbying, which was also the case with the previous Liberal government.

My question is for Mrs. Yates.

You're quite familiar with the topic. For 2010-2011, only 5,129 lobbyists registered in the Registry of Lobbyists. Do you really think only 5,129 lobbyists are engaging in lobbying activities in Ottawa?
