Bill 1: Problems for Alberta's Voluntary Sector

A Joint Submission to the provincial government, endorsed by 160 nonprofits and prepared by the Muttart Foundation.

This report outlined the negative impact Bill 1 (the Lobbyists Act) would have on the voluntary sector, and asked for an exemption for the sector from the law, as it would add immense administrative burdens, hinder collaboration, and cut off government access to community groups and organizations.
