The Lobbying Act

The Lobbying Act is a law in Canada that requires organizations and individuals who try to influence government decisions to register and report their activities. Its purpose is to promote transparency, ensuring the public knows who is trying to sway government policies and how they are doing it. The act defines lobbying broadly, covering efforts to influence legislation, policies, or government decisions. It also sets rules about disclosure, timing, and the nature of lobbying activities to prevent undue influence and ensure accountability in government interactions.
