The old data bank provides the status of registrations before June 20, 2005, the day on which the amendments to the Lobbyists Registration Act came into force. Because only the new data bank is updated, it is possible that you could find different results when searching both data banks. For example, the old data bank could show that a registration is active, but it could appear terminated in the new data bank. This could be because the termination occurred either during the transition period (June 9 to 20, 2005) or after June 20, 2005. In such cases, please note that the new data bank provides the most current information.
