Indeed, it opens the door to quite a broad range of things. We heard a number of witnesses say—and this didn't really shock me, but I found it a bit illogical—that if an MP goes for a coffee with someone who starts talking to them about their reality, the MP would have to register that activity as lobbying. However, in my opinion, that person would only be informing the MP about the reality of a citizen. One of the suggestions that witnesses have made was that any act of lobbying should be registered.
When a citizen tells us about their reality, do you think that's lobbying, or is it just an activity that involves informing an MP of what's going on in their riding?
