How this is counted

Consultant lobbyists only. A consultant's communication report names the person who met the MP. An in-house report names the organization's responsible officer, usually the CEO, not the person in the room, so ranking people from in-house reports would credit the wrong person. Organizations are ranked on the organizations page.
One report, one meeting. A report that lists several officials counts once if any of them is a Member of Parliament or Parliamentary Secretary. Meetings with ministers, their staff, or public servants are not counted here.
Firms are grouped across the spellings they file under (with and without “Inc.”), and shown under their most-used name. A lobbyist is counted toward the firm on their most recent registration.
Lag. Registrants have until the 15th of the following month to report a meeting, so the most recent weeks are always undercounted.
