📢 📰In a recent article from @LobbyMonitor, GRIC Board Member @KylePLarkin offered an important perspective on the debate surrounding the Consumer Choice Center report on "circular lobbying". 💬 “Government funding has never influenced the operations of any of the associations that I have been involved with. Instead, all government funding has various reporting requirements to ensure that dollars are being spent for their specific intentions.... Unfortunately, stories of positive lobbying are not covered or highlighted enough. Be it an organization securing funding for cancer research, or an association changing a regulation that saves Canadians and Canadian companies millions of dollars a year, or working with the government to grow exports, these are but a few examples of the work that Canadian lobbyists do on a daily basis."

📰📢 Check out #GRIC President @HunterDoubt in today's The Hill Times discussing the ongoing Lobbying Act review and the Commissioner's recommendations related to a registration-by-default and more stringent reporting requirements. Doubt told The Hill Times that his concern is that registration by default would “flood the system with unnecessary registrations. Specifically, it would impact mostly small business—small nonprofits, small charities.” “I think there’s been a lot of talk about how this would just simplify things. We actually think it would do the opposite, whereby many of these small business owners [or] small charities … who don’t consider themselves lobbyists but want to speak to their local member of parliament for a particular issue, are not even going to know that they are now a lobbyist.” More here ➡️ hilltimes.com/2026/05/24/lob…
