Again, we disagree.
We take great care and pains to put together structured, transparent, non-partisan programs. There are no conditions attached and no expectations of alignment. All subsequent engagements are already governed by the Lobbying Act and reporting requirements. The issue here isn't influence; it's whether parliamentarians are allowed to access high-quality information and experience that help them do their jobs.
Again, the will of Parliament has been to say that they would like to have that. I think that is the central issue we're looking at here, which is the framework overriding the will of Parliament.
