Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Commissioner, on September 19, 2025, The Globe and Mail reported that a real estate executive, a lobbyist and a banker who all happened to very conveniently be Liberal insiders held an exclusive reception for Liberal MPs and cabinet ministers during the recent Liberal national caucus retreat in Edmonton. Liberal MPs and cabinet ministers were invited for a beverage to discuss politics.
To be clear, lobbying rules require lobbyists to report a meeting with public office holders even if they are oral and arranged. Is that correct?
