I agree with my two colleagues. From a perspective of transparency, I think the idea is not to reduce, but to keep that broad definition, at the cost of broadening certain other positions. However, it's important to take the concept of the waiting period into account. I think a five-year waiting period is extremely excessive for a political advisor of the leader of the official opposition who did not necessarily have access to privileged information. It seems essential to me to introduce that scale.
