I know the commissioner has put forward the idea of having more measures to help ensure and encourage compliance, including things like administrative monetary penalties and temporary lobbying bans.
I think it is worth looking at different options that could give her more tools in her tool box to help encourage compliance among the lobbyist community. I'm not sure whether there's a big problem right now in terms of non-compliance, and I'm not sure whether the commissioner has said that she is worried about it. She and her office have done a very good job of working with public office holders to ensure that they are in compliance through education, public awareness and providing guidance.
