MONTREAL -- A Quebec watchdog is calling for major reforms to provincial lobbying rules.
Speaking at a news conference in Quebec City, Jean-Francois Routhier said the existing rules are outdated and insufficient.
He wants to see a series of changes to improve transparency.
Routhier says his recommendations are following up on a recent public inquiry into a scandal at the provincial auto insurance board.
The provincial board rolled out a new online platform in 2023 that was meant to improve access to services, but instead led to long lineups and cost overruns.
The inquiry's commissioner would later recommend a series of changes, including a full reform of the province's existing lobbying legislation from 2002.
