Commissioner of Lobbying, Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying

It rarely becomes public, given the way the Lobbying Act is currently written. I send all the information to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or RCMP.

I don't have the power to declare that someone did not comply with the Lobbying Act. If I have reasonable doubts that there is an offence, I have to tell the RCMP.
