She asked to be granted the power to impose administrative monetary penalties on lobbyists who did not comply with certain regulations. For instance, a consultant lobbyist must register as a lobbyist within 10 days of an agreement. That means that if it's done after 11, 15 or 20 days, that person is no longer in compliance with the Lobbying Act. In such a case, an administrative monetary penalty is useful.
We now have a compliance monitoring process. If a lobbyist registers 15 days after the 10-day period indicated in the act, we send a letter indicating the problem and asking that the individual comply with the 10-day period in the future. Following that, we monitor that person's lobbying activities for one year. That's the right way to work.
