It's the same rules for everyone. The only difference might be in looking at whether the conflict of interest occurred when an individual was a minister. Then, after a court case dealing with not only lobbying the minister but also the department in question, I would be looking at the conflict even closer, depending upon the lobbying that was being done. But the rules are the same. If they are paid and communicating a registerable activity for in-house organizations and corporations, there is the additional test of the significant part of duties, the 20%. And if the meetings are organized with a designated public officer holder, which all members of Parliament are no matter whether they're part of the government, a minister, or an opposition MP, then those encounters have to be registered unless it's the designated public office holder who invites the lobbyist to come in and do a presentation.
