I think that's an important question. Grassroots lobbying is not part of the LTA in British Columbia. Whether it's in or not is one of those policy choices. I don't have a lot of expertise to talk about it.
I will pivot, though, and talk about social media. People sometimes ask why they need to register their social media communications as lobbying activity if they're already in the public. To that, I will very quickly respond that social media is not entirely in the public, because not everyone can automatically see every social media post. Also, they're not all in one spot. It's the “all in one spot” part that's the value of the registry.
