Dave, For the past two weeks, many Canadian blogs have focused on Canadian MP Sarmite Bulte, who has been dubbed the Hollywood MP for her close connection and funding from the entertainment lobby. This includes plans to hold a fundraiser four days hosted by lobby leaders before Canada's national election. My column this week reviews lobbyist registration records, campaign finance returns, and documents newly obtained under the Access to Information Act to reveal significant lobbyist influence that rarely comes into public view, suggesting that the Bulte issue is is only a small sample of the link between lobbying and campaign contributions with copyright reform in Canada. The research reveals significant campaign contributions, access to Canadian Ministers, frequent meetings with policy makers, and government contracts. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as [email protected] To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
