Based on the questions we received over the years looking at the different roles that people play during campaigns and.... Of course, we only give a list of examples, because I'm not the expert, and people have different titles. We came to the conclusion, again with the charter backdrop, that with respect to people who are knocking on doors, they should be allowed to knock on doors. However, if they're not knocking on doors with you, the elected official, on a daily basis, a different relationship is created with the person who's doing it.
A former MP told me once, “I don't even know who knocks on doors for me.” I get that. Therefore, that would likely not cause a sense of obligation. This rule is to send a signal for people to call us if they're not sure. There is a difference, and I hope we have identified that difference on the list of different types of activities.
The second category would be people who have frequent interactions with the person who is seeking to be elected. If that doesn't happen, then there really is no cooling-off period.
