I'd like to add a comment to this discussion too, for the benefit of this committee. Hill and Knowlton aren't being employed to lobby members of Parliament: you've heard the type of people who have been involved in this particular issue. It does fall to the committee, though, to be the ones who hear their particular call for help right now. You have the power to do something about it. There are no high-priced campaigns being waged on their behalf. They don't have slick lawyers and lobbyists working for them. This is your chance to hear their voice and do something about it.
On March 20th, 2007. See this statement in context.
