Yes, and that's the point Ms. Bertrand and Ms. Pilichowski raised at the beginning. The issue of regulating influence activities falls within a broader ecosystem of public integrity. These activities are not necessarily problematic per se, as long as they are transparent. That's our approach. The question is how to foster a culture of integrity among the various stakeholders in the public space, and this obviously includes parliamentarians as well as the executive branch.
Influence activities are acceptable if they are conducted transparently. I have in mind Ms. Pilichowski's point about the culture of lobbying and what that means in a society. Based on our approach, lobbying should not necessarily come with stigma and be perceived as corruption per se. It just needs to be regulated properly to make it transparent, so that people are comfortable with it and stakeholders have more trust in institutions. I believe that's our approach. It's an ecosystem, and lobbying regulation is one piece of this ecosystem, but it's by no means the only component of a country's integrity system.
