Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Madame Bélanger, for joining us today.
These are important questions and things that we definitely need to think about. The government and I'm sure all my colleagues here are committed to ensuring that lobbying of federal public officer holders upholds the standards that are here. Asking these questions about integrity and also enhancing trust in the regime itself is something I really value, as does everyone here, I'm sure.
Previously the rules surrounding gifts, favours and other benefits were deferred to other federal authorities. Your office has mentioned that this creates challenges in administering and ensuring compliance with that rule. Can you go into what challenges your office has been facing with this arrangement?
