I'm a great believer in access to information and transparency. I was in the access world before. I continue to promote transparency in everything I do, as much as I can. I reach out to lobbyists a lot. I am watching everything that goes on. I said earlier that likely 90% of the work I do is self-initiated. All I can do is try to continue to instill the integrity of how lobbyists do their work.
Quite frankly, there are 6,000 lobbyists who are registered. Under the code on ethical conduct, I am not receiving many complaints. I am not really observing much. There is a lot going on, for sure, but at least Canadians know about it if they look at our registry. How do I reach out to all Canadians to make sure they know about my registry? Well, it's little baby steps. I am trying to meet with anybody who wants to meet with us. I am in the universities. We try to use social media. All we can do is use word of mouth, and reach out to you, and hopefully people will understand the role of the registry and the lobbying regime overall, at some point. Really, it helps to contribute to the integrity of decision-making.
