The purpose of the registry is certainly to be adequate and to contain truthful information. So if it turns out that registered lobbyists are filing entries on conversations that did not take place, that's technically an offence. I hope people try to file truthful entries. I will tell you, though, that many people will submit a report to the registry for a letter they've sent, and that is a case of their misunderstanding the system. Every month, we check about 5% of all communications submitted and, if there's an error, we have the lobbyist correct it.
