Proposed section 27 sets out the regulations. Proposed paragraph 27(a) adds potential classes of individuals who would fit the definition of “public office holder”. It's meant to identify classes, not to identify countries or organizations. It's meant to make sure that there's enough flexibility in the legislation, through regulation, that if we believe that a certain group of people should be captured by the registration obligation, there's an ability in the regulations to do that.
The definition of “public office holder” is well known. It's established in the Lobbying Act. It is fairly broad, but if we were to come to realize that it would need to capture other classes, this would be the way to do it.
