OTTAWA — The federal lobbying commissioner has found five people breached the lobbyists' code of conduct.
Commissioner Karen Shepherd says Rene Fugere, Andre Nollet, Paul Ballard, Mark Jiles and Graham Bruce all failed to register as lobbyists.
Fugere was at one time an unpaid aide to Jean Chretien and Graham Bruce is a former British Columbia cabinet minister.
Shepherd has tabled four formal reports on the cases in the House of Commons.
Breaches of the code carry no fines or jail terms.
At one point, Shepherd referred two of the files to the RCMP, but the police decided no charges were warranted.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
