Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Harvey, you have spoken to some extremely important issues.
The goal is to serve the public at all times. If a person influences a public decision-maker to get public money, and the money is invested in a certain sector, we'd agree that we'd want transparency. We always want to ensure that money is spent in the best way for the benefit of Canadians.
With respect to your measure to make all lobbying activities public through your registry, how did the public react to that? Have you seen any changes in the perception of lobbying in British Columbia?
Earlier, you said that lobbying is important. It's one of the tools decision-makers have to better understand businesses.
Did you observe any shift in the general public's attitude after implementing the measure?
