How does Wade Chang's voting record line up with your values?
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, officials, for being here. How does Canada's lobbying regime compare to those of other leading democracies in terms of transparency, oversight and administrative requirements?
Thank you very much.
How important are predictability and regulatory certainty for organizations that must comply with this act? How should they factor in any reforms recommended by this committee?
The Lobbying Act seeks to promote transparency, not discourage engagement with government. How can Parliament ensure that reforms do not unintentionally create barriers to participation in public policy discussions?
We have heard concerns that some recent proposals or interpretations might not have involved extensive consultation with stakeholders. To your knowledge, what stakeholder engagement informed the commissioner's recommendations, and what role, if any, did the Treasury Board play in these discussions?
