Just to be clear, there's no licensing requirement for lobbyists. Anyone may register to be a lobbyist, and is required to register if they're engaged in those activities. Once they do that, they're required to adhere to the code. But there's no licensing body; there's no body that looks over that. There are advocacy groups on behalf of lobbyists: the Government Relations Institute of Canada and the Public Affairs Advisory Committee. But there's no licensing requirement per se. That's quite distinct.
