Under the Lobbying Act as members of Parliament you're designated public office holders. Under the Conflict of Interest Act you're not. Some of you might be, but you have to be a minister or parliamentary secretary. There are obligations in that act that are forever and ever. There is no five-year.... You cannot take advantage of the position or use information you have obtained during your position. There is a one- or a two-year post-employment period in that act.
As members of Parliament—and you will know this better than me—I don't believe there are post-employment obligations under the MP code of conduct. Under the Lobbying Act, it's a prohibition of five years for you to not become a lobbyist.
