The commissioner obviously issues decisions moving forward on the interpretation.
“In terms of sponsorship … I'm not saying it will, but it could have a chilling effect on sponsorships because if sponsorships are now being captured within that gift-giving and hospitality rule, then companies that would be thinking of providing sponsorships to events that may include public officeholders will have to do their homework.” Commissioner of Lobbying Nancy Bélanger told that a common inquiry for the OCL pertained to how the $200 annual limit was calculated.
