The laws that regulate Canadian lobbying - making representations to federal, provincial and municipal governments - continue to evolve. Each year, businesses must adapt to changes and updates to the rules and interpretations.
Lobbying transparency does not just affect professional lobbyists. In fact, lobbying laws also concern companies and organizations whose employees communicate with government officials. In many cases, responsibility for compliance falls on corporate CEOs.
This exclusive seminar, presented by Ottawa's Guy W. Giorno, one of the country's leading legal experts on the regulation of lobbying, provides an in-depth update of new developments across all Canadian lobbying laws: federal, provincial, and municipal. It is the place to learn how changes will affect your business or organization.
