Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome, folks, and thanks for coming today.
Mr. Chenier, I'm going to start with you. In your presentation you talked about knowing the client, and that the clients are well aware of which lobbyists are connected with which political parties. Obviously they further their careers by doing that. A lot of the lobbyists are commentators on radio shows. Some of them actually go out of their way to do commentary. Some of the lobbyists get paid to do commentary, and the more commentary they do, the more connected they are seen to be.
I guess this is where rule 8 comes in. What rules...or how do we curtail this? How do we legislate that you can't do this? It's a really grey area. I don't know if you can help us out there a little bit. Do you get my drift?
