Lobbying involves educating and persuading those in positions of influence to exercise that influence in a manner you consider appropriate. An effective government relies on lobbying for the type of information its needs to make decisions.
Politicians expect to be lobbied.
In general, MPPs want to appear open, accessible and interested in the views and concerns of their constituents. When the Legislature is in session, most MPPs usually spend one day a week, most often Fridays, in their home riding constituency office. When the Legislature is not in session, MPPs are often in their ridings and available for meetings. The easiest way to set up a meeting is to phone the MPP's constituency office and ask to speak to the person who does the scheduling. When speaking with the scheduler, it is important to tell them who you represent and what you would like to discuss in the meeting.
