Canada Expands Lobbyist Reporting Requirements
The Registry of Lobbyists approved changes to the Lobbyist Registration Act significantly expanding the scope of reportable activities.
Under the new rules, lobbyists are required to report contact with Members of Parliament, Senators and certain staff members affiliated with the Official Opposition.
Additionally, these officials are now subject to Canada’s five-year “revolving door” restrictions forbidding certain officials from becoming lobbyists.
