As part of the discussions it held about changes to the definition of gifts, the committee talked about the fact that volunteering should be removed from the definition since you trust volunteers, which is totally natural and acceptable.
We had some doubts, in the Dykstra case and in the Raitt case, as to whether the MPs, as a committee, had really looked into the possibility of a lobbyist also being a volunteer. I don't think that would have necessarily changed the finding in the Raitt case, since Ms. Raitt was not even aware of the fact that the lobbyist was involved in her campaign or in the event.
However, that did make us consider removing lobbyists from the volunteer services exclusion. An MP should perhaps not accept volunteer services from a lobbyist, since a conflict of interest is rather obvious in that case.
