I wholeheartedly agree that we have this in common.
We especially worry about the ability of community organizations, non-profits, charitable organizations and civil society to come and have their voices heard without the chilling effect of being told that they're going to have to register as lobbyists. Again, what may be intended to try to prevent harm will do more harm. What's the adage? It's using a sledgehammer to hammer something in that's much smaller.
I agree. I think it's important for the MPs here to be able to hear from community groups across the country. Obviously, I represent a community, and I'm sure all of you are in touch with your own constituents. To be able to hear from groups across the country that may come from other ridings or jurisdictions is very important.
