Thank you.
I do believe it was fair. Three rounds of consultations in any manner is fair.
I would say that we have made strides in certain areas. The first proposed code of conduct that came in, in the first instance, proposed a $30 limit on hospitality. That also included tax, service fees, labour, the room charge, etc. It simply would have made receptions impossible. We've moved from that to $40, just for covering food and beverage. It's still a challenge. It still would make events nearly impossible, especially if you include any cultural elements, be it kosher food, indigenous food or halal food—no matter what it is. Also, food differences across Canada—a red pepper cost is different in Ottawa from what it is in Nunavut—are also not necessarily accounted for.
The consultation in general was well done. I would say that there is still more room to grow.
