Is there a distinction between conversations that take place outside of your formal MakeWay position (e.g. conversation with lobbying target as private individual, not MW staff)
In BC, with regard to giving gifts, if you are a lobbyist you are prohibited from giving a gift to a public office holder you are lobbying, regardless of your personal friendship.
Applying the same logic, if you are a lobbyist same rules apply to formal and informal relationship with POH.
