Lobbyist Registrar

Lobbying is a legitimate and legal activity and is a part of the democratic process when conducted ethically. It is an important matter of public interest to be able to know who is attempting to influence government and the details of the lobbying. The purpose of the registry is to provide transparency about lobbying in Manitoba. In accordance with the act, lobbyists are required to file detailed returns in the online registry documenting their lobbying activity. The public can view the registry to see which person or organization the lobbying activity is on behalf of, who is doing the lobbying, which public officials are being lobbied and other related details.
