With regard to the exemption on providing "information" only, is there any restriction on the type of information that can be provided?
The LTA requires you to provide a brief but comprehensive description of your lobbying activities. Your details should be clear and concise, so the public can easily identify and understand your lobbying goals.
Keep in mind that the purpose of the Lobbyists Registry is to provide transparency with respect to who is lobbying the BC government about which subject matter(s). The language in this section must include “particulars to identify the subject matter”.
Answering these questions might help you determine what to enter in this section:
- What result am I lobbying for?
- What am I seeking from the BC government on behalf of my client or my organization?
- What is the intended outcome I hope to achieve as a result of my communication with the BC government?
- If you are not seeking a change or do not have a specific “ask” of the BC government, why are you communicating with the public office holder?
