The precision is there in the gifts and hospitality rule, and that's fine. In terms of rule 6 and the definition of “other political work”, yes, the terms need to be defined. They shouldn't be left the way they are, because they're going to allow for unlimited fundraising while lobbying. What does “near-full-time” mean? What does “frequent and/or extensive interaction” mean?
The rule for low-level political activity should be that you are allowed to canvass and distribute leaflets a couple of times during an election campaign without having to sit out from lobbying afterwards. For fundraising, if you do any of it you should have to sit out for four years. For being in a campaign office, you should have to sit out for low-level right through the next election, and for the upper level even longer.
That's the way to ensure equal opportunity for equal and meaningful participation and influence, which is what the Supreme Court of Canada actually said. It's not just meaningful participation; it's equal opportunity for everyone, every citizen, to participate and have influence at an equal level. That's one person, one vote, with no one allowed to do more than any other person if they are then going to try to influence. That's why you have the cooling-off period that lasts at least until the next election—
