Would you agree with me, Mr. Giorno, that there is a proliferation of these well-connected political influence peddlers, not unlike in the days of Brian Mulroney, where Frank Moores and Fred Doucet and all these guys worked hard to put the Prime Minister in power and then immediately stepped one step back and started selling access to that Prime Minister for contingency fees and hourly fees?
When you say a penalty of $25,000, the 10% contingency fee that Rahim Jaffer hoped to achieve in his illegal lobbying would have been 10% of a $150 million bonus that he was trying to achieve for his clients. So the contingency fees can be 30%. It's illegal as hell, but it's happening all around us, Mr. Giorno. You were just here.
Are we being aggressive enough to try to preserve democracy so these guys aren't undermining everything that's good and decent about the notion of relatively equal access to government's great largesse, not better access and privileged access for those with deeper pockets or a friend in the PMO?
