Woodstock launched this project on lobbying in 1998 for three reasons. First, lobbying has grown exponentially during the past twenty years to exercise enormous influence on American politics. It has almost become a new profession in that time, and therefore deserves a new review and evaluation. Second, lobbying has simultaneously fallen under suspicion and engendered critical resentment in some quarters. Its critics would say it supports "special" (i.e. narrow and well-funded) interests and is oblivious to the general well-being of our democratic life and process. Third, reputable lobbyists have called, therefore, for a clarification of standards and principles for use within their own ranks and as an explanation to the general public of the goals, objectives, and methods of lobbying to forestall misunderstanding and misjudgment. This clarification would provide the lobbying profession with a normative statement parallel to the codes of conduct and ethical practice of the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association.

Lobbyists and others who seek to participate in public policy activities through the formation of coalitions and associations whose members may not be identifiable, and the use of grassroots campaigns that attempt to mobilize citizens to advance the message of a lobbyist's client have raised concerns. Some lobbying activities have also been linked to campaign finance practices, congressional procedures regarding the acceptance of gifts from lobbyists, and the inclusion of earmarks advocated by lobbyists in appropriations legislation. Legislative proposals related to lobbying focus on six broad areas, including (1) enhanced requirements for electronic filing of lobbying reports and semiannual reports required under LDA; (2) redefinition of the term "client" under the stature; (3) more detailed disclosure by lobbyists of which groups and entities are funding coalitions and associations they represent; (4) more detailed disclosure by lobbyists of the individuals in Congress and the executive branch they contact; (5) congressional rules regarding the interactions of members and staff with lobbyists; (6) the Federal Election Campaing Act of 1971, as amended, as it relates to lobbying activities.

Lobbying, as a way to influence and inform governments, has been part of democracy for at least two centuries, and remains a legitimate tool for influencing public policies. However, it carries risks of undue influence.

The term "lobbying" refers generally to any effort to communicate with legislators or other public officials against or in favour of a specific cause. Lobbying at the federal level was first governed by the Lobbyists Registration Act. It came into force in 1989 and established a registration system intended to foster the public's right to know and to be informed regarding who was trying to influence government policy in Canada. In 2008, following substantive amendments brought about by the Federal Accountability Act in 2006, the Act was renamed the Lobbying Act because the Act now seeks to regulate the activities of lobbyists rather than simply monitor them by means of a registration system. Currently, more than 5,000 lobbyists are registered to lobby federal public offices. In March 2011, prior to dissolution of the 40th Parliament, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics began the five-year mandated review of the Lobbying Act. As well, the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct, which came into force in March 1997, sets out ethical standards for lobbyists to follow in order to maintain public confidence in the "integrity, objectivity and impartiality of government decision-making." As such, it complements the disclosure and registration requirements of the Lobbying Act. Lobbyists are required to comply with the Code. This paper provides a review of the legislative history of the Lobbying Act and outlines how the Act and the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct operate in practice. It also considers the issues raised thus far in the course of the Act's 2011 statutory review.

Lobbyists in Washington aren’t a new phenomenon. Since the early days of the republic, citizens and groups alike have hired professionals to press their interests with lawmakers. However, recent examples of misconduct—like that seen in the Abramoff scandal—highlight the unique ethical challenges this industry faces in the twenty-first century. Though major scandals happen less frequently than popularly believed, the more pervasive ethics problem is that members of the profession often cut deals that go against their clients' interests. They sacrifice the interests of those they represent in order to curry favor with lawmakers. In The Ethical Lobbyist, Thomas T. Holyoke exposes how current industry regulations fall short of ensuring principled behaviors and may actually incentivize unethical behavior. Holyoke presents the provocative argument that, in addition to welcoming stronger regulations, lobbyists need to borrow a page from the legal profession and adopt ironclad guarantees of principled representation. The Ethical Lobbyist puts forth a set of principles and a workable program for implementing reform. The result is a road map to reform that will transform “ethical lobbyist” from an oxymoron to an expectation—and change the industry and our government for the better.
