The act and the code of conduct impose obligations on lobbyists, who must report their activities. Imposing obligations on public office holders would change the act's objective. I think that educating public office holders and designated persons—as I am doing—is enough to ensure that those meetings are being registered. A communication verification is done every month. In addition, the letter we send to designated public office holders does not only ask them to confirm that clients are registered. They should also report any other meetings or concerns about anything else not on the list. Public office holders can ask us questions so that we can ensure a follow-up.
In addition, when I meet with designated public office holders to educate them, many of them tell me about their experiences. For instance, they may tell me that they call lobbyists to let them know that they did not register a specific meeting. They do that proactively and check every month which meetings are registered.
