Thank you.
The Commissioner of Lobbying told this committee that the federal regime suffers from a lack of transparency, and we just heard that this is extremely important. There have been suggestions, such as registration by default, disclosure of all lobbying communications, and disclosure of the names of each in-house lobbyist. These are all required in Quebec and in other provinces.
So, if we want to harmonize things in Canada and ensure that the threshold is higher rather than lower, why does the suggestion you seem to be making ultimately amount to reducing what is required of lobbyists, while they are being asked to do more in Quebec and in the other provinces?
