Data & Methodology

Sources

• Lobbying registrations and communications — Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada.
• Speeches, bills, votes, and MP rosters — OpenParliament.ca and the House of Commons.

How often it updates

Data is refreshed weekly from the public sources above. Each page shows the most recent activity we have on record. Government sources publish on their own schedules, so there can be a lag between when something happens and when it appears here.

Known gaps

When Parliament is dissolved (for example, ahead of a general election) or adjourned between sittings, there are no new speeches, bills, or votes until the House sits again. Lobbying communications continue to be filed during these periods.

Corrections

All data originates from public government records. If you spot an error, it is most likely in the source data — but tell us and we will look into it.
