Thank you again, Mr. Chang.
It's a question of the fact that, in these circumstances, it is.... Respectfully, this is a Commissioner of Lobbying who works hard, and I know that she has significant responsibilities, so I applaud her. However, at the same time, I also recognize the deep roots in common law and in administrative law that those who are involved in enforcing legislation do not make the regulations. I believe it is extremely important for that to be addressed by the Governor in Council and through consultations within government. You wouldn't expect someone to create new rules on their own and then, essentially, enforce them.
The kinds of issues we're talking about do have significant dollars-and-cents values, aside from the fact that they may very well reduce the amount of conversation, communication, with government. This is even more the case when we're looking at these issues. This is why I say that it cannot be left to a commissioner of lobbying, as it wouldn't be left to other commissioners to take on rules and responsibilities that they simply wish to take on without engaging properly with the legislature or with the appropriate elected officials who are involved.
