Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to begin by apologizing for my tardiness. I was enjoying a very exciting race outside in front of the Hill and didn't quite make it here in time.
I appreciate the opportunity to meet with you, Mr. Conacher, and I apologize to you, as well, for missing the initial couple of minutes of your opening comments. If I ask any questions that you've already covered, just direct me back to the blues, and I can read them.
In your comments, you mentioned in passing the Laurier Club and Laurier Club events. As you would be aware, the legislation specifically exempts donor appreciation events that are held at a party convention. This raises the question of whether people will be encouraged to donate the maximum amount to the party by, in this case, attending a Laurier Club event at a party convention where the Prime Minister or where ministers would likely attend, and not have to report.
Do you see that as a challenge with the legislation?
