Thank you, Ms. Shepherd, for being here today. It's greatly appreciated. We're pleased to see you here again. We want to congratulate you on your mandate and the services provided to Canadians.

In the past eight years, have you seen changes in how lobbyists approach their work?
What are the major trends?
What should the committee look at in the future?
