"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7573697\" data-originallang=\"en\">Well, the location right now is not an issue; it's the communication itself and whatever was discussed as to whether or not it would be considered lobbying.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7573698\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Right now, if they're talking about getting a contract for an organization, that is not lobbying. From the perspective of the public office holder, I don't regulate that. I can only regulate lobbyists that are registered, and when I say \u201cregistered\u201d, I mean those whose names appear on the registry. There's a gap there. Organizations and corporations do not need to register until they've met the significant part of the duties threshold, so there is a lot of communication that's happening that is not covered by the Lobbying Act right now. That needs to change.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7573697\" data-originallang=\"en\">Eh bien, l'endroit ici n'est pas un probl\u00e8me; c'est la communication proprement dite, les sujets de discussion, qui permettent de d\u00e9terminer si c'est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme du lobbying.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7573698\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'heure actuelle, s'ils parlent d'obtenir un contrat pour une organisation, ce n'est pas du lobbying. Du point de vue du titulaire d'une charge publique, je ne r\u00e9glemente pas cela. Je peux seulement r\u00e9glementer les lobbyistes qui sont inscrits, et quand je dis \u00ab inscrits \u00bb, je parle de ceux dont le nom appara\u00eet sur le registre. Il y a une lacune ici. Les organisations et les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s n'ont pas besoin de s'inscrire tant qu'elles n'ont pas franchi le seuil de la partie importante des fonctions, ce qui signifie que de nombreux \u00e9changes ne sont actuellement pas vis\u00e9s par la Loi sur le lobbying. Il faut que cela change.</p>"
