Organizations that Advocate/Lobby to City Council Policy Terms of Reference
Recommendation:That the September 8, 2008, Corporate Services Department Report 2008COC012, be received for information.
Report SummaryThis report discusses ways to provide guidelines to organizations that lobby Council and terms of reference for development of a lobbying policy.
Previous Council/Committee ActionAt the March 3, 2008, Community Services Committee meeting, the following motion was passed:
That Administration report to the September 22, 2008, Community Services Committee with:
1. Terms of Reference for a policy regarding funding advocacy/lobby organizations that advocate to City Council.
Report Edmonton’s vision and strategic plan
was created with input from citizens and encourages increased public participation. Along with increased participation in Council’s decision making process, comes increased and often, competing demands. The concern with developing a policy restricting groups that receive funding from the City from advocating to City Council, would be
a real or perceived restriction on a person’s ability to advocate on behalf of their organization.
Two recent pieces of legislation governing lobbying decision makers have been developed provincially and federally. The federal Lobbying Act came into force on July 2, 2008. Similarly, the provincial Lobbyist Act, passed in 2007 is expected to be proclaimed this year. The federal Lobbyist Act requires groups that pay their lobbyists to register if they are lobbying decision makers. The proposed provincial Lobbyist Act exempts not-for-profit groups from having to register. Neither of these acts otherwise restrict non-profit groups that receive government funding from advocating to decision makers. Neither act applies to municipal councils.
There is no place that prohibits non-profit groups that receive government funding from lobbying decision makers.
Definitions The words ‘advocate’ and ‘lobby’
have been used interchangeably. For the purpose of this report, ‘lobbying’ includes ‘advocating.’ Lobbying is communicating to try to influence a government decision. Advocating is speaking in favour, or public support of a recommendation or cause.
Organizations Organizations that engage in the
municipal decision making process range from those that are created and/or appointed by Council to organizations that have no formal governance relationship with the City of Edmonton. Council passes

Organizations that Advocate/Lobby to City Council Policy Terms of Reference
bylaws governing agencies, boards and commissions they create.
It is, therefore, those organizations with no formal relationship with the City of Edmonton, other than through funding, that would be affected by a policy. A list of organizations that receive funding from the City of Edmonton can be found in Attachment 2.
Criteria for Groups that Receive Funding from the City of Edmonton Funding criteria in bylaws such as
the Community Investment Grant Bylaw 14157 or policies such as the Community Investment Grants to Organizations and Individuals could be amended to include lobbying and conflict of interest restrictions.
Do Other Canadian Cities Have Policies on Providing Funding to Lobby Groups Of six Canadian cities surveyed,
Calgary, Vancouver, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto and Halifax, none has a policy regarding funding groups that lobby Council. However, some program criteria stipulated that municipal funding not be used on lobbying activities.
Next Steps No further action is planned by
Administration unless Council gives direction to proceed with a policy.
A process to develop terms of reference is outlined in Attachment 1. If Council decides to proceed with a policy, the first phase would be consultation with affected stakeholders. A terms of reference would be presented to Council for approval after consultation with stakeholders.
PolicyNo lobbying or advocacy policy exists.
Focus AreaGood Governance

ResearchResearch on how other Canadian municipalities clarify roles for organizations that advocate or lobby City Council would be conducted. Research would also be conducted on how the principles of the Government of Canada Lobbyist Act and Province of Alberta Lobbyist Bill might apply in the municipal context.
Policy DraftCorporate Services will draft a City Policy for Community Services Committee’s and Council’s consideration.A City Procedure will be drafted for Senior Management Team’s approval.
OptionalNon-Statutory Public HearingCommunity Services Committee may wish to consult with affected stakeholders by holding a non-statutory public hearing before making its recommendation to Council.
Definitions:1. Advocate: An advocate is someone who supports or speaks in favour. An advocate may
plead for another person. Advocacy is the public support for or recommendation of a cause or policy.
2. Lobbyist: Lobbying is communicating with a municipal government official (for example, a Councillor or Administration) to try to influence a government decision.
Lobbying can include:
a. telephone calls b. letter writing c. e-mails d. face-to-face conversations
Talking to your Councillor isn’t considered lobbying, unless the conversation is about influencing a Council decision for your own benefit. Neither is talking to your Councillor or Administration about how existing an bylaw or policy applies to you or an organization.
Lobbyists may be employees of an organization, they may be hired as consultants, or they may be volunteers but receive a stipend or honorarium for their work. Lobbyists may be classified in two ways:
organizational lobbyists are hired by organizations, and lobby the City as part of their jobs
consultant lobbyists are paid to lobby on a specific issue on behalf of their clients
