Mr. Chair, I think questions about whether rules were broken are best directed to those with whom that is at issue. In my case, I followed all the rules we normally follow. I deal with hundreds of businesses a year. I've dealt routinely with businesses that have former politicians and others from both sides of the aisle or from different governments over time. The obligation to ensure you're following the rules is actually on the lobbyist, not on the person being lobbied.
Many times individuals are listed in the lobbying register, the CEO of the organization, but it will be one of their staff actually doing the lobbying. Other times they'll hire a professional lobbyist. Even if you check the lobbying register, it can be.... This is an obligation on the person doing the lobbying, not on me.
As I said, I attended a meeting with maybe a dozen other people on a video screen. At the conclusion of the meeting, we politely said we saw no further cause to follow up with them. That was the extent of the meeting.
