You received a brief from our friends at Gowling that said they thought if you made people register too much, it would stop them from openly discussing, getting in there and trying to influence. With respect, I think that's reflective of who their client base is. I don't think it actually serves the regime.
I think it's easy. If a doctor is using scribes to give their notes.... There are all sorts of ways the Commissioner of Lobbying can make registration quick and easy. We heard the commissioner from Quebec say, “You can call us if you don't want to go online, and we'll do it over the phone.”
This isn't rocket science. It's not hard. I think the argument that it's too much of an administrative burden is a sign to you that the person is doing a lot of lobbying, so they're probably the person you want to capture anyway.
