An Act to amend the Lobbying Act (reporting obligations) = Loi modifiant la Loi sur le lobbying (obligations en matière de déclaration).: XB421-278/1-PDF

This enactment amends the Lobbying Act to require lobbyists to disclose (a) whether they are funded by a foreign national, a non-resident corporation or a non-resident organization; and (b) whether they use, or expect to use, grass-roots communication to seek to persuade organizations or members of the public to take measures to obstruct, delay or otherwise negatively affect any process that requires the Government of Canada to consult with the public before embarking on a specific course of action, in an attempt to place pressure on a public office holder to endorse a particular opinion. It also makes a housekeeping amendment to the English version of paragraph 5(2)(e.1) of the Act.
