Organizational Information

The Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists (ORL) is divided into three groups.

The Office of the Registrar is primarily responsible for the overall management and coordination of the ORL. The Office is responsible for the ORL budget, including contracting and purchasing, payment of invoices, security, human resources coordination, workplace safety, and facilities.

The Investigations Directorate is primarily responsible for ensuring that a monitoring program is in place to identify lobbying activities where there may be non-compliance with the Act or the Code. The Directorate enforces the Act by conducting administrative reviews and referring cases to the RCMP or conducting Investigations under the Code and tabling the final report in Parliament. The Directorate also provides overall strategic policy advice for the Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists including developing proposals for changes to the Act and drafting interpretation bulletins.

The Operations Directorate is responsible for: developing, maintaining and ensuring the continuing effectiveness of the public registry; providing a client support function to respond to enquiries and requests for assistance; directing communications, including media responses, the ORL website and outreach programs; business and financial planning; handling of Access to Information and Privacy Act requests; and for preparing the Registrar's Annual Reports to Parliament.
