Thank you for the question.
I didn't necessarily come out and say that the administrative burden is wrong. I just think that if we're looking at changes, any administrative burden we would be placing on the lobbyist community would be an important consideration that we would need to take into account. As I said, if we were to proceed with amendments to increase transparency around lobbying, that would definitely be something we would need to consider.
One thing that I would say about the regulations themselves is that we included them in the red tape review as something we would be willing to look at. This committee then announced that it would be looking at doing a statutory review of the act, so we've put that on hold until we receive the input of the committee to do that. We certainly are keeping an eye on how the recommendations come in order to decide what the approach will be, and then we will undertake that review again.
One of the things we'd be looking at is how we can make things more nimble, because the regulations, as they are currently written, are extremely prescriptive, and there are probably ways that we can make them much more nimble and flexible going forward.
