In 2023, the applicant was appointed as the Vice President, Public Affairs and Marketing of British Columbia Ferry Services Inc. (BC Ferries) under a secondment agreement with ICBC. The applicant was not subject to the two-year prohibition on lobbying by former public office holders during her secondment. The applicant began working exclusively for BC Ferries in August of 2025 and has applied for an exemption to the two-year prohibition on lobbying by former public office holders under s. 2.3 of the Lobbyists Transparency Act. The prohibition’s purpose is preventing individuals from marketing information and relationships gained at public expense for private advantage. To the extent BC Ferries may gain an advantage from the proposed lobbying activity, the public would be the ultimate beneficiary because the provincial government is the sole owner of BC Ferries. Under these circumstances, the Registrar found that it is in the public interest to grant the applicant an exemption from the two-year prohibition on lobbying.Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:00: 00 PSTFri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00: 00 PSTThu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00: 00 PSTThis document provides background to the Special Committee to Review the Lobbyists Transparency Act, to assist its deliberations and recommendations for British Columbia’s lobbying law.Wed, 09 Jul 2025 00:00: 00 PSTOral briefing to the Special Committee to Review the Lobbyists Transparency Act.Wed, 09 Jul 2025 00:00: 00 PSTMon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00: 00 PSTI am pleased to present the 2024/25 Annual Report and Service Plan of the Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists (ORL).
