I would say that oftentimes, we see the provinces taking lessons from the federal jurisdiction, especially in areas like conflict of interest. Oftentimes, the provinces are looking at what the feds are doing and it takes them a while to catch up.
It's very interesting to see the lobbying commissioner's reflections on best practices at the provincial level. I just want to stress how unusual that is. To echo Professor Stedman, if she's saying that B.C. is the model to look at, I think it creates a real need to have a look at that.
I think one of the reasons she did that is some of the clarity that's in place there. For example, there's the default registration. It's clear what the obligation is. They don't have these spaces where there's a judgment call about whether this requires registration or not. It's probably for reasons like this that she's looking at it.
