That doesn't mean they're not trying to influence public policy, and as I said in my opening remarks, the key underpinning of lobbyist registration and lobbyist registries is to ensure that there's transparency about who is lobbying whom in government, and about what.
It's also about protecting government decision-making. Some of the organizations that you outlined are very sophisticated organizations that, as you said, have what you may believe is a valid point on influencing public policy.
We're sort of neutral on lobbying content, if you will. We're not really concerned with what you're lobbying about. While we want to make sure that it's clear to the public what you're lobbying about, it's value-neutral to us. If you're lobbying because you want to get a contract for your company or you're lobbying because there's a very important piece of social policy that you would like the government to act on, we treat those the same. That is a fundamental underpinning of the act that I am charged with ensuring is undertaken appropriately here in Ontario.
