If the intent is to have everyone in a minister's office be designated as “designated public office holders”, any communications with them, therefore, would require a monthly report or they would be subject to the five-year prohibition when they leave.
My recommendation in relation to removing a reference to a section, so it's anyone working in a minister's office under whatever mechanism—whether it be contract, advisory or otherwise—be designated public office holders, is that it is something this committee can definitely consider.
