This message was prepared for Registrants by the Registration Unit of the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying

* New Functionality – Reactivation of a registration and associated benefits *

The new Lobbyists Registration System (LRS) offers numerous functionalities intended to facilitate the declaration of lobbying activities. We want to draw your attention to one of these functionalities.

Please look over the list of your earlier registrations before submitting a new declaration.

What is involved in reactivating a registration?

LRS enables registrants to reactivate earlier registrations by updating their contents.

Benefits of reactivation

Reactivation of a registration has several benefits, including:

• Time savings, as the contents of the earlier registration are updated and you need not make a new declaration.
• Avoids duplicate declarations.
• A simpler, quicker, more efficient way of having your declarations processed promptly to comply with the Act and the Lobbyists’ Code of Conduct.
