To what extent do lobbyists represent Canadians in the political process?

Who are lobbyists? A lobbyist is someone hired by a group to influence MPs and government officials. Lobbyists must register with a Commissioner of Lobbyists, so everyone in Canada can know who they are and who they represent. Lobbyists voice the views of groups on issues that affect their members, products or services. These issues can also affect all Canadians. The Federal Accountability Act introduced rules that require lobbyists to document which MPs and government officials they meet with.

How do lobbyists see their role? Read pages 52 and 53. Complete question #1 on page 53.
