Well, regarding more change to the current code, currently if you are involved in significant campaigning or any fundraising, then you have to sit out past the next election to match the five-year cooling-off period after you leave public office before becoming a registered lobbyist. As a lobbyist, if you are involved in significant campaigning or any fundraising that therefore causes an appearance of a conflict of interest, you should have to sit out past the next election. That's what the rule is now.
There's no reason to change it at all, unless you want to allow unethical lobbying to become rampant. There's nothing in the current proposal for rule 6, or in what we're proposing, which is to allow for low-level political activity—a bit of canvassing and volunteering during campaigns with no cooling-off period.... That would allow everyone to do a little bit, as much as an average voter does—but no more, because if you're doing more, then you're buying influence and it becomes unethical.
