That's just not the truth. There are specific rules and laws that exist in Canada that don't exist in the U.S. The main one I would point out is PACs. PACs don't exist in Canada.
Money and politics don't exist the same way they do in the U.S. For us to go to U.S.-style lobbying through the code of conduct is just not possible. The proposed new code of conduct would not introduce anything like that.
Instead, the 24-month ban on lobbying activities after holding a senior role in a campaign is based on international standards. It would still hold the transparency and accountability that the law and the code go for.
