Canadian Lobbying Act

The Canadian Lobbying Act regulates how individuals and organizations communicate with federal government officials to influence policies or decisions. It requires lobbyists to register, disclose their activities, and report expenses, ensuring transparency and accountability. The Act aims to prevent undue influence and maintain public trust by making lobbying efforts open to scrutiny. It applies to paid representatives engaging with Parliament or government departments on legislative or policy issues, fostering an ethical and transparent environment in the policymaking process.
