The law creates an obligation to register for influence activities, informing public decisions and public policy decisions at all levels of government.
That means when entities in Canada are doing influence work on behalf of foreign powers, there's transparency around these arrangements and these links so that there's more clarity for the individuals, whether it's the civil servants, the politicians or any sort of public officials, and understanding about who is really speaking on this issue. There is more clarity, more transparency and more information available for decision-makers at all levels. That includes your constituents and individuals who are making decisions around economic investments or just policy-making in general.
