What's counted
This topic has no matching lobbying registrations in the registries Clarion ingests, so its activity reflects bills, debates, and government media only — never an inferred lobbying figure.
Every count is a deterministic tally of real records matching curated anchors — a way to group activity by policy area, not a measure of support, opposition, or outcome. Bills are grouped by subject, never by stance.
Most recent tracked activity: 2026-08-24.
