The Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying is set to enhance the lobbyist registration system following website maintenance on July 5, 2014. The system updates will provide lobbyists with a late notification when monthly communication reports are not filed on time.

In addition, the system will make reporting easier by excluding government institutions without a designated public office holder.

Previous website updates have included a flowchart to help lobbyists determine if they need to register and a page with frequently asked questions regarding definitions and registration requirements.

The Registry of Lobbyists is available at https://ocl-cal.gc.ca/eic/site/012.nsf/eng/h_00000.html.
