Advocacy and Public Policy

By Adam Gorley | 3 Minutes Read December 16, 2013

Proposed Saskatchewan law would regulate lobbyists

A new Bill currently before Saskatchewan's legislature would regulate lobbying in the province. Bill 120, the Lobbyists Act, would require persons who are paid to lobby elected officials to register their lobbying activities with a proposed government registry. The Bill contains numerous exemptions, which some critics say weaken the proposed law, but it will add a valuable layer of transparency to government, and may be strengthened in the future.
