How about Madam Justice Bellamy's ruling on the tendering process? Miller didn't abide by that ruling so why should we believe he will abide by the Lobbyist Registration. He didn't abide by the voluntary lobbyist registration program.

David Miller the Hypocrite on Lobbyist Registration
From The Globe Today:
Toronto will have a new, mandatory lobbyist registry, billed as one of the strongest in North America, ready by next spring, if council next week adopts measures passed yesterday by a key committee.Delighted, byjeezus he oughta be ecstatic. With the previous Voluntary Lobbyist Registration he created DAVID MILLER VOLUNTARILY DID NOT REGISTER A SINGLE influencer who met with him. Not a union leader, not a special event official and not Ralph Lean, the lobbyist who is his main fundraiser.
After the vote, Mayor David Miller expressed delight at the measures that include conflict-of-interest rules that cover politicians' staff.
"We have adopted the strictest rules about integrity in this country. . . . We have done everything that Madam Justice Bellamy said was necessary and appropriate."
Three years ago, council adopted a voluntary registry, with variable participation by councillors.
