La falta de transparencia en el cabildeo en el parlamento ha resultado en niveles altos de desconfianza del público. El Gobierno ha intentado abordar este problema a través de legislaciones en los últimos diez años. Para lograr este objetivo, el Gobierno creó el Grupo de trabajo para la transparencia en el cabildeo, el cual creará y presentará una ley de transparencia del cabildeo al parlamento. Con el fin de facilitar la implementación efectiva de la ley, el Gobierno se comprometió a promover una campaña de sensibilización. Asimismo, incluirá el tema de transparencia en el cabildeo en las capacitaciones a funcionarios de alto nivel. Este enfoque multisectorial tiene como objetivo aumentar el conocimiento público sobre cómo funciona el proceso de cabildeo, quién influye en la toma de decisiones del Gobierno y cómo participar.

Le manque de transparence du lobbying au Parlement a grandement miné la confiance du public. Au cours des dix dernières années, le gouvernement a tenté de remédier à cette situation par voie législative. Pour atteindre cet objectif de longue date, le gouvernement a créé le groupe de travail sur la transparence du lobbying afin de créer et de présenter une loi sur la transparence du lobbying au Parlement. Pour faciliter la mise en œuvre efficace de cette loi, le gouvernement s’est précisément engagé à mener une campagne de sensibilisation du public et ajoutera le thème de la transparence du lobbying à la formation en matière d’administration publique destinée aux hauts fonctionnaires. Cette approche en plusieurs parties vise à mieux faire connaître au public le fonctionnement du lobbying, les personnes qui influencent les décisions du gouvernement et la manière dont la population peut participer.
