Splitting the bill at networking lunches?

Hi everyone,

I'm an intern at a Canadian Big 5 bank PWM division, and I have a lunch with one of the Investment Advisors coming up this week to talk about career stuff. Is it normal to split the bill, or am I expected to pick up the bill since I'm the one gaining the benefit of being able to ask them questions?

Thank you!
