The applicant is a former member of the Legislative Assembly and served as Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity seeking an exemption under section 2.3 of the Lobbyists Transparency Act to lobby on behalf of a Board Voice Society of BC, where she is the incoming Executive Director. The Registrar found the applicant is a former public office holder and that it would not be in the public interest to grant the exemption in this case. The Registrar concluded that not everything a non-profit does is in the public interest, and that in this case the applicant’s proposed lobbying activities would be in the same sector as her role as Parliamentary Secretary.
