Lobbying Activity Report amended on: 2026-05-14 previous entry: 1774-51413
Reason for amendment: The appropriate lobbying topics were not reflected in the registry, which prevented me from identifying the topics covered during the meeting. Although the meeting had not yet been published, I contacted the BC Lobbyists Registry on May 14 regarding the issue, and they were able to resolve it on their end. Following this, I was able to update the entry and submit it.
