The province is updating legislation to make sure individuals who worked for the government cannot sell their insider-knowledge.
Attorney General David Eby says the proposed changes to the Lobbyists Registration Act will prohibit former public office holders from acting as lobbyists for two years after leaving office…
The definition of former public office holders includes people, from former cabinet ministers and their political staff to positions on boards like school boards and health authority boards to those who worked in Crown corporations, agencies and associations.
Those found in non compliance of the the act could face a fine of up to 25,000 dollars.
