Thank you.

This is to Public Safety Canada.

In part 4, under “Definitions”, the definition of "arrangement" talks about being “in association with a foreign principal”. It can cover just communicating with a public office holder.

I know this act is country-agnostic, but certainly there's a hierarchy in terms of the Canadian public's perception of certain countries. There's a concern in the interpretation of the words “in association".

Can you comment more on how you interpret that?
