Paper Summary:

Canada was the first parliamentary government in the world to require the registration of lobbyists, resulting from a reaction to the perceived inappropriate level of the power of lobbyists in connection with the 1984 elections. This paper looks at the implications of this policy on further elections.

From the Paper:

"Contract lobbying is frequently done by legal firms employing former government officials and attorneys familiar with the structure of the bureaucracy. The Financial Times wrote in 1981 that lobbyists were "the best informed, least understood and perhaps most influential private citizens in the country" due to their experience within the political system, their knowledge of its issues and terminology, and their network of personal contacts within it."
