In terms of the definition for conflict of interest, the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct refers to three rules that deal with conflict of interest. The court case that I referred to in my opening remarks provided clear direction that it's not just looking at a real conflict of interest, but also an apparent conflict of interest, because just to look at a real conflict of interest would be to say that other conflicts are acceptable. When I look at other definitions, even of private interest for example, using a broader definition is consistent with the OECD's definition as well.
