Thank you very much, Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses for participating in what is an important discussion. I think everyone would agree that surrounding any lobbying we need a system that is accountable and that is transparent so that ultimately Canadians can trust the process. As was stated, there has been an erosion of trust in the process, and certainly one could get into extensive political conversations around that.
I did want to speak specifically about the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct, so I'm going to go around the room and ask about the consultation process. The commissioner talked a lot about that consultation process. I'll go to each person, and I'm just wondering if in 15 seconds they can comment on their experience with the commissioner's consultations.
I'll start with the Canadian Labour Congress.
