Thank you for being with us.
Lobbying is the intent to communicate with public decision-makers to influence their decisions. The act has not been reviewed since 2012. We're reviewing it today, but it's been a while, and things have evolved a great deal. You were saying that the change you want to make affects 70 new organizations. You can imagine that things have changed quite a bit in the past 14 years.
You said you cover paid activities. In your opinion, there is some vagueness, and that should be clarified for activities that are not.
If a consortium owns 500 companies and, every week, a director from one of those companies holds a meeting lasting an hour and a half or two hours, that person doesn't exceed the threshold of eight hours a month.
In such a case, we would never audit that. It would fly under the radar. There would be no problem, despite the fact that these are recognized companies and that we could, at some point, see decisions aligning with the interests of those companies. Everything would be fine.
Is that correct?
