The government has stated that it wishes to make changes which in my opinion, will strengthen the act. It is important, in the case of administrative penalties, for example, to check what my provincial counterparts are doing, including whether things are working well and whether criteria have been established.
Furthermore, I am prepared to offer the government advice if it has questions for me pertaining to the application of the act. In fact, I wonder—and this is also a concern of mine—whether the rules and changes are clear for lobbyists as well as for public officials who may consult the act's provisions. That is really the context in which decisions must be clear.
