Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has promised to clean up public wrongdoing.
There is a major loophole at the heart of the regulations pertinent to lobbyists. It works like this. It is illegal for a company to offer a profit-based payment to a lobbyist, but a lobbyist like Mr. Dingwall can accept $350,000 in such a payment without it being illegal.
Will the Prime Minister clean this up and ensure that if it is illegal to give such a payment, it ought to be illegal to receive it?
