Lobbyist Registry


The Act

How does the Act define lobbyists?

The LRA defines three categories of lobbyists:

  • consultant lobbyists paid to lobby on behalf of a client, for example, government relations consultants, lawyers, accountants or other professionals who provide lobbying services for their clients

  • in-house lobbyists employed by persons or businesses that carry on commercial activities for financial gain

  • in-house lobbyists employed by non-commercial organizations such as advocacy groups and industry, professional and charitable organizations
