I can give you my opinion on that only because when I was with the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, there were administrative penalties there. I do believe it can act as an incentive. Right now the powers under the Lobbying Act are quite limited. It's really, at the end of the day, public shame. She issues a report and tables it to Parliament and that's it, unless she has referred it to the RCMP and in fact they pursue a criminal action and then there's an offence.
I would think that administrative penalties would be possibly a good thing but maybe not just that. There might be other avenues. There might be a spectrum that could be imposed, and on that I would like to take the time to reflect so that I could possibly provide advice during the next five-year review.
