On June 29, 2017, the N.B. Integrity Commissioner extended the registration deadline for consultants already lobbying and in-house lobbyists already employed by an organization when the new N.B. Lobbyists' Registration Act took effect from July 1, 2017 to October 1, 2017.

The new N.B. Lobbyists' Registration Act took effect April 1, 2017 and defines who a lobbyist is, what activities constitute "lobbying", requires "lobbyists" to register with and submit returns on their activities to the Province – and makes failure to comply with the Act an offence. If you are caught by the definition of "lobbyist" under the new Act, register by the new deadline; if you're using a "lobbyist" in N.B., make sure you use a registered one.
