Bill

C-278: An Act to Amend the Lobbying Act (Reporting Obligations).

Second Reading.

Vote

Nay.

Rationale

I voted against this bill because the core principles of the Lobbying Act include transparency and reporting burdens. But, this bill proposes two amendments that go against these core principles including the disclosure of foreign funding by lobbyists and expand the definition of grass-root communications.

Result

Defeated.
