I guess, Mr. Chair, it's a good question. It's very much whether...I think that if you're putting them under something together, then there might be some rationale, but what is Parliament trying to achieve? When I was before the committee under the Lobbying Act review and I talked about receiving administrative monetary penalties, it was to look at having them as a detriment to other lobbyists or as more of a corrective action. I think that would be the consideration as to why you would be giving fines to either commissioner, let alone harmonizing them.
