I certainly agree. It's just that I remember our having spoken with your predecessor about whether or not a $50 gift should possibly be considered an influence, but if someone flies you around the world and puts you up in the best hotels and buys you drinks for two weeks, that's not an unacceptable gift.
It just seems to me that, if they fly me around Ottawa for the weekend and buy me drinks, I could be influenced, but if I'm doing it in another jurisdiction, I'm not. Should we clarify the rules?
