Yes.
Because so many charities and non-profits are small and do not have the capacity to hire full-time government relations staff, we rely on strength in numbers. Imagine Canada, for example, often plays a backbone role in coalition work, in which we'll do a lot of the coordinating and organizing, such as a lobby day.
We see uncertainty and nervousness right now in the non-profit sector around which of those coalition activities require registration or are required to be counted in the tracking towards the threshold for lobbying. With the reduction in the number of hours from 32 to eight, there's more attentiveness and more attention being paid to it because there's a recognition that the number might be met more quickly than it has been in the past. Our recommendation is about a need clarity around how coalition activities are tracked in lobbying and what is included and not included in it.
