I suppose we agree that, if a person does this on a full-time or part-time basis, whether they are paid or not, if the ultimate objective is to change public policy decisions by lobbying, they must be subject to the same rules. Whether I am rich or poor, if I drive down the highway at 200 kilometers per hour, I will be stopped and will suffer the same consequences as everyone else.
We were just talking about the consequences that apply to those who break the law. You mentioned a $250,00 fine and even jail time. Who's going to be responsible for enforcing those rules? Does the Commissioner of Lobbying have the right to tell someone that they made a mistake and that they must suffer the consequences? Does she have the power to do that?
I would invite both of you to answer my question.
