What constitutes grassroots lobbying needs to be clearly defined. That's our issue.
When we saw this suggestion, we wondered. On our side, we conducted plenty of surveys before taking a position on issues. Some of these surveys are used. In other cases, when the opinion is divided, we don't use the data and we don't take a position. Do we have to declare every question, every stance? Are polls part of grassroots lobbying? Is it just a letter campaign? In the latter case, should it be recorded once or should each letter be recorded?
We had many questions due to the lack of clarity. In our submission, we asked to learn a bit more about this initiative, particularly regarding how it would be implemented. As they say, the devil is in the details.
