Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
Ms. Turnbull and Mr. Stedman, your remarks are very much in line with what we're asking for here, on both sides. You spoke about transparency and accountability. You say that we're more than ready to study everything that's currently going on.
I'm going to tell you about a situation, and I'd like you to tell me whether you think it's lobbying. As you just said, Ms. Turnbull, everything is interconnected when it comes to lobbying and conflict of interest.
The Prime Minister's economic adviser is paid by the party. That means he isn't subject to the Lobbying Act. He's also the head of a large corporation that has investments everywhere; those investments are interconnected in many fields.
That person directly advises the Prime Minister without being subject to an act. Do you think that could be some form of lobbying?
My question is for both of you, Ms. Turnbull and Mr. Stedman.
