prohibition on lobbying?
Every individual who contravenes any provision of the Lobbying Act or regulations is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $50,000. Also, if a person is convicted of an offence under the Act, the Commissioner of Lobbying may prohibit them from specified communication for a period up to two-years. Lobbyists who contravene the Lobbying Act are also in breach of the Principle of Professionalism set out in the Lobbyists’ Code of Conduct; and could be the subject of an Investigation Report tabled in both Houses of Parliament.
