Alberta Lobbyist Act Goes Live Sept 28, 2009

I will be on Edmonton AM the CBC Radio 1 show on Monday at 7:15 am talking about the Proclamation of the Lobbyist Act, the Regulations and the Registry system going live on September 28, 2009.

I am setting up some workshops and sessions to explain the impact and implications of this legislation to business and others. It catches a lot of activity, exempts a bunch and requires some knowledge about what people have to do now to obey this law.

Consultant Lobbyists have 30 days to comply, Organizational Lobbyists have 60 days.

Send me an email if you want to know more. ken@cambridgestrategies.com

More on MP Integrity Awards

Good to see the Edmonton Journal Editorial Board also seeing the MP integrity awards as somewhere between pathetic and pitiful. My take on this hair-brained idea is in my post of September 1, 2007

Their front page story in the Edmonton Journal on Sunday September 2 deals with the serious negative implications for the Nonprofit/Voluntary Sector from the pending Bill 1 Lobbyists Act in Alberta. This legislation is a good idea that has gone too far. Full disclosure - I helped write the position paper for Volunteer Alberta and did an editorial of my own on it on our affiliate website Policy Channel. You can read the entire document on Policy Channel in the Community Theme area.
