Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Ms. Bélanger.
I'm pleased to speak with you for a few minutes. This is the second time we've met.
Again, I think you need to have worked through more than one term of government before you can say you have experience.
So my questions are going to be more about operations. I will use an example. As parliamentarians, we meet people who, in some cases, have official lobbyist status. I have not read your 11 recommendations, but I know as we review the Act, much can be done to avoid all of the things that we've experienced over the past year.
What obligation do parliamentarians have to check who they are talking to? What steps need to be followed?
I know that, in principle, we have access to the registry to find out who we are dealing with and who we have worked with. Since I don't have enough experience with this, I'd like you to elaborate on it.
