Currently, even if everybody we speak to is a lobbyist, that's okay. They have the requirement to register.
Right now what's happening is that organizations and corporations don't need to register if it's not a significant part of their work. In order to register, they need to calculate whether or not they've spent about 30 hours in a month preparing and meeting with you. For me, whether it's two hours, one hour or 10 minutes, it's the substance of that conversation that matters. That should be in the registry for transparency so that Canadians know who is meeting whom about what. If the threshold is that if you talk to them, you register, the obligation will be on them. It's not that difficult to register. You don't need to calculate whether you spoke to them 10 minutes, 20 minutes, a half-hour. You should take note of whom you met so that if I ever reach out to you to confirm the information, you have it at hand. However, the obligation is on the lobbyists to make sure that they are transparent about the communications that they have with Canadian decision-makers.
