Thank you, Mr. Chairman
Welcome, Ms. Shepherd.
Getting back to the five-year prohibition on lobbying by former MPs, my question is in regard to the former MP Stockwell Day and his opening of a non-lobbying government relations firm. Your office was asked why it would not investigate that.
Could you please explain why you would not look into this matter of a former MP starting a government relations firm within months of leaving office? It would look to be, obviously, some form of lobbying. Obviously, Stockwell Day thought enough to ask the Ethics Commissioner whether it was ethical, so why wouldn't the Lobbying Commissioner look into this as well?
