Hello,

I hope all is as well as can be with you and yours in this ongoing challenging time.  Thank you very much for signing the petition to Stop Secret, Unethical Lobbying at: https://www.change.org/p/justin-trudeau-ocl-cal-stop-secret-unethical-lobbying

Federal Commissioner of Lobbying Nancy Bélanger is proposing to weaken the ethics rules for lobbyists to allow them to fundraise, campaign and do and other favours for federal Cabinet ministers, MPs and their parties, and then lobby them soon afterwards.

Commissioner Bélanger is only asking for public input on her proposal to weaken the rules until tomorrow, Wednesday, June 22nd.  Click here to see Democracy Watch’s recent news release criticizing the Commissioner’s proposal to gut the rules, and you can also see DWatch's criticisms in the Globe and Mail’s article by clicking here.

Please help stop the Commissioner from weakening the ethics rules for lobbyists by sharing the Stop Secret, Unethical Lobbying petition on Facebook and Twitter, and sending an email to anyone you think may be interested in signing the petition.

Thank you for your support!  All together we can make a difference!

Take care,

Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch
