Thank you for that question. I think it's a very important question. Unfortunately, I have to report that I don't have an answer for you.
In part, that's because I'm still a relative newcomer to British Columbia. I've been in office for only about two years. Before, as I've mentioned, I was in Newfoundland and Labrador. With that said, It's a very important question, and I'd like to understand the answer to that question myself.
Under our strategic plan, we have two pillars. I developed a strategic plan. One of those pillars is to do more outreach. My impression as still a relative newcomer to British Columbia is that people in our province aren't sufficiently aware of all the protection they have under the Lobbyists Transparency Act. I think, if they were aware of the transparency, it would enhance the trust that they have in the system.
It is part of my multi-year strategic plan to answer that very question that you're asking, probably through public survey data and so on.
