Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for being with us this afternoon.
I think you've heard from the questions that we're getting today—and I'm sure you've been following our study as we've been going through it—that the more we ask the more confusing it becomes. So I appreciate your candour and your suggestions.
One of the things I always find confusing are the definitions. I think when we look at the Lobbying Act and we look at the Conflict of Interest Act, we have definitions in two pieces of legislation that mean different things. Could you comment on that, and in particular on “public office holder”, “reporting public office holder”, and “designated public office holder”? We interchange those definitions back and forth. Could you comment on those and give us any suggestions about how we could coordinate those?
There's another term and I just don't know who can define it, and that is “influence unduly”. We talk about that a whole lot, but who's going to define it? What do you take that definition to mean?
