The Canadian Lobbying Act

The Canadian Lobbying Act regulates how individuals and organizations engage in lobbying federal government decision-makers. It requires lobbyists to register their activities, disclose their identities, clients, and the topics they are advocating for. The law aims to promote transparency and accountability, ensuring the public and government are aware of who is influencing policy and legislation. It also sets rules about lobbying conduct, including restrictions on activities that could lead to undue influence or conflicts of interest, fostering integrity within the political process.
