Decisions

Reports of non-compliance are posted on the website. Where there is a compelling public interest, the Registrar can publish an investigation report with a finding of compliance.

Reconsideration reports are decisions by the Registrar in response to requests for an appeal by individuals who have been found in contravention of the Lobbyists Transparency Act. The individual may request a reconsideration of the ORL’s findings in the investigation report and/or of any administrative monetary penalty imposed.

Exemption decisions are binding decisions from the Registrar based on exemption applications from former public office holders who request an exemption to the two-year cooling-off period.

Other reports contain details of investigations where it was found the individuals or organizations were in compliance with the Lobbyists Transparency Act.

Decisions by the Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists are posted on the Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLii) website: https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcorl/
