These analyses were completed only for communications occurring in government institutions representing ≥1% of total communications (n = 3218/3418 total communications).

The category and rank of government office for a communication was determined based on the individual’s role or position in government, using their registered position title and branch unit, as stated in the Registry of Lobbyists; categories of federal government office are ranked in order of highest to lowest rank, within “Parliamentarians and their staff” and within “Civil servants”, as described in Table 1.
