With member input provided to the Commissioner both following our Annual Meeting of Members earlier this month and through informal engagement, this Guidance provides some amount of additional clarity. GRIC continues to work in partnership with the Public Affairs Association of Canada to represent government and public affairs professionals publicly with governments and regulators.
