About The ORL

The Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists is an independent office of the legislature.

• Our mandate is to oversee, monitor and enforce the Lobbyists Transparency Act (LTA). The LTA requires individuals and organizations who lobby public office holders and meet specific criteria to register their lobbying activities in an online public registry. You can search the Lobbyists Registry by selecting the "search" links above.
• The goal of the LTA is to promote transparency in lobbying and government decision-making by allowing citizens to know who is attempting to influence public office holders' decisions.

We welcome you to browse our website and to contact us if you have any questions.
