Review of the Alberta Lobbyists Act - Member Roundtable

Monday, November 15, 2021

12:00-1:00 PM MST

On June 15, 2021, the Legislative Assembly passed Government Motion 86, which referred the Lobbyists Act to the Standing Committee on Alberta’s Economic Future for review pursuant to section 21 of the Lobbyists Act. The committee must submit its report to the Assembly within one year after beginning its review and that report is to include any amendments recommended by the committee.

We want to hear from you! PAAC Alberta is monitoring the review and plans to create a submission outlining suggested changes. At this roundtable, we will discuss what the potential changes could be and the impact to lobbying in the province, as well as hear feedback from you on what you hope to see the Alberta government prioritize in its review. As a PAAC member, you have the opportunity to provide feedback and help inform PAAC's submission.

The Public Affairs Association of Canada is the leading forum for representing lobbyists’ concerns to all levels of government in Canada.

The PAAC has presented to various government committee’s on proposed changes to lobbying law at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. In addition, the PAAC hosts conferences, conducts media interviews and submits opinion editorials all in an effort to position lobbying as a key and valuable component of the public policy process.
