Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Routhier, as politicians, we are often in a position where we meet business representatives. The same goes for ministers. It's part of our job. I know that there has been a lot of criticism in the past. For example, there has been a lot of media coverage of cocktail-party fundraisers for political parties. Ministers have been present and companies have paid an entrance fee to have access to those ministers.
I would like to know how that is viewed in the Quebec legislation. How does Quebec's legislation on lobbying deal with the kinds of events where people pay a lot of money to get in and to have access to elected officials or ministers?
Do people need to register? Is that lobbying?
