I guess the question/deflection "from Ottawa" would be, how is the law written?

I believe a lobbyist can call on a career bureaucrat, and try to sell them on whatever they are representing, but call on an elected politician in the governing party?

Most of us probably think it is illegal, and believe it to be wrong... but IS it in fact illegal?

It most certainly is ethically wrong...Canada as we well know, had a lot of holes in its' criminal code...

For example, most provinces (as we are finding out) do not have a limit on contributions...even though the federal government does...
