It's a good question to make what I think is an important point: This legislation isn't about regulating what people can say or not say in advocating for positions. I want to make sure that is completely clear. It imposes a degree of transparency when that advocacy is being made on behalf of a foreign state or in association with a foreign state. The best answer to that is if you are a private citizen, Mr. MacGregor, and you want to meet with a deputy minister because you think that exposition by your government would be helpful, and you're not doing it on behalf of a foreign state but you're doing it out of love for your country, for example, that doesn't require registration.
However, when you have an understanding with a foreign state that you're doing that for them or in association with them, that is what triggers the requirement to register.
