We look at the substance of the allegation. We look at all the criteria and try to assess all the elements of the offence contained in the Lobbying Act. We try to establish whether there is sufficient information for us to determine that we have reasonable grounds to believe there has been an offence. This is the minimum threshold for us to launch an investigation.
Now, there are some other factors we have to consider. As I mentioned earlier, we examine situations to determine whether there are exigent circumstances. Are we looking at a very serious transgression of the act? Are we looking at a minor transgression? As I said earlier, the lobbying commissioner refers all matters to us. Of course, we look at a very wide spectrum of offences. We have to make an assessment based on the available resources we have in order to see which ones will be prioritized.
The Lobbying Act is one of the acts we enforce, among many.
