Madam Chair, there are a number of issues that arise from that.
One of them is the perception of constituents that the member of Parliament is not representing them fully, because their priority is with the role that is paying them more than their member of Parliament salary, and they're devoting more hours there than they are to their member of Parliament duties.
However, there is no job description for a member of Parliament. There is no set number of hours that a person must contribute to that. My colleagues who are members of Parliament would tell me that it is a 24-7, 365-day-a-year role; therefore, having additional roles on top of that must be quite complex and challenging.
Again, I would like to go back—if I may—to the purpose of the register. It's about whether the interests—second jobs, third jobs, gifts or hospitality—might reasonably be thought by others to influence the actions of a member of Parliament. It's that conflict of interest point that is so key to understanding the extent to which members of Parliament should and do get themselves involved in other roles. Some of them are very important public service roles. Some of them are roles that they have to undertake to maintain their continuing professional development. Others bring in large sums of money, acting on behalf of companies that benefit from their parliamentary knowledge, skill and experience.
