Thank you.
Mr. Ali, you stated in your opening statement that Canada has one of the most transparent lobbying registration regimes in the world. I think that's probably true, but it's not to say that it is fully transparent or is at where it should be at. I would note that in the case of what is reportable in terms of lobbying activities, it applies only to oral communications arranged in advance and initiated by a lobbyist. What is transparent about that?
