Amendments to Lobbyist Registration Act
Amendments to Canada's Lobbyists Registration Act ("LRA"), in force as of July 2, 2008, have renamed the LRA the Lobbying Act ("LA") and created significant changes to the regulation of lobbying at the federal level of government. Like its predecessor, the LA is designed to make lobbying transparent by requiring those who communicate with public officials, in a broad range of defined situations, to be listed in a public register. The LA seeks to regulate the activities of lobbyists, rather than simply monitor them by means of a registry system. The publication addresses the questions we are most frequently asked about Canada's amended federal lobbying regulation regime.
