Yes and no. As I said earlier, to my knowledge there is no case that led from the 32-hour interpretation of the Lobbying Act to an eight-hour interpretation of the Lobbying Act. What I see nationally is, really, a race among commissioners as to who can make it the furthest on regulations and law. British Columbia went the furthest. I think the federal law is trying to catch up to that. That doesn't mean that the law and regulations they passed in British Columbia are correct.
In my opinion, those are overburdensome for both public office holders and lobbyists, as well as for small and medium-sized enterprises in that province. I see it as a bit of a race among them as to who can make it the farthest.
