Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd first like to ask Mrs. Yates a question.
You spoke about preparation activities for use with lobbying contacts, which is everything done before the lobbyist as such has gone to see a public office holder. This reminds me a bit of the Stockwell Day story. I think you touched on it briefly, without mentioning it directly. He was the minister and then moved to the private sector to do preparation or consultation work and tried to show the lobbyists how to do the job.
Do you think this should be regulated? I have the impression that these people can open a lot of doors and that they can have a lot of influence, without lobbying themselves, by telling others how to do it and who to go and see.
