That's the problem. You said so at the outset. There are a lot of changes happening right now, and we have to adapt to them. That means the legislation has to be adjusted so that it can deal with this reality.
However, from the moment we try to show transparency, we have to be able to get it. If there are hidden discussions, if we don't really understand what's going on or if there's the appearance of a conflict—whether it's a conflict related to lobbying or a conflict of interest—shouldn't we have more mechanisms to be able to understand how decisions are made?
Should we at least avoid putting ourselves in a situation where the public could tell us that this isn't acceptable at all and that they don't want decisions to be influenced by large groups with money?
I'm sure you understand where I'm going with this. How can that famous line be redefined?
How can we be both transparent and structured enough to protect Canadians' interests through Canadians' money?
