Ms Sherry Perreault:

I will not comment on any individual's compliance or compliance matters relating to an individual.

There are obviously certain matters that fall outside the scope of the legislation. It is correct to say that an individual is only captured by the legislation if he or she is lobbying about the zoning and development of land, as defined in the Planning and Development Acts. Individuals could theoretically fall within the scope of the legislation if they are employers, but not in their capacity as individuals. With regard to the question raised about business interests, there is a distinction to be made, for example, between people lobbying for a contract for a business to deliver something and people communicating in respect of employment. Other legislation outside of the remit of the Standards in Public Office Commission may be involved. I cannot speak to that. Right now, under the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015, there are no provisions that capture individuals acting in their capacity as individuals, other than with respect to the zoning and development of land.
