Creation of a Collective space

Creation of a Collective space

If you read on, you confirm that you fall within one of these exceptions.


Before creating a Collective space for an enterprise or organization, we recommend verifying whether one already exists, since an enterprise or organization may only have one Collective space. To do so, go to your Professional space and use the search tool available in the “Actions” section.

If the enterprise or organization already has a Collective space, you may join it . Otherwise, you can create one by following these steps:
  1. Go to the “Actions” section of your Professional space;
  2. Click on “Je veux créer un Espace collectif” (I want to create a Collective space);
  3. Enter the basic information about the Collective space.

Basic information 

Identification of the Senior officer (SEO) and of an Administrator (ADM)

Only the SEO or an authorized representative of the enterprise or organization may create a Collective space.

By selecting “Je suis autorisé à créer l’Espace collectif” (I am authorized to create the Collective space), you declare that you are authorized by the enterprise or organization to create its Collective space in Carrefour Lobby Québec and you are automatically assigned the role of Administrator (ADM) for the Collective space. You must identify the SEO and enter their email address so that an invitation to validate the creation of the Collective space is sent to them.

Lobbyisme Québec will verify the identification of the SEO during the Collective space’s validation process.

Name of the enterprise or organization

The name you must provide has to be the official name of the enterprise or organization. If it is registered in the Québec Enterprise Register (REQ), the official name is the one indicated in the “Identification de l’entreprise” (Identification of the enterprise) section of its registration declaration.

If the official name of the enterprise or organization indicated in the REQ is in a language other than French, you must provide the French version of the name that the enterprise or organization uses and under which it identifies itself in the course of its activities in Québec. Optionally, you may also add up to three other names under which the enterprise or organization is identified in Québec.

Group, association or coalition

If your enterprise or organization is a group, an association or a coalition, provide all information that clearly identifies its members by clicking on “Ajouter une description ou un membre” (Add a description or a member). If providing this description is not possible, identify each member individually.

Example: If a coalition includes all the merchants on a street, you may state that its members are the merchants on that street. However, if only some of the merchants on that street form the coalition and there is no wording that specifically identifies them, you must identify each member of the coalition individually.

List of associated websites or corporate accounts

If your enterprise or organization has a website or social media profiles (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), include their URLs in this section. This information may be used by Lobbyisme Québec to validate the creation of your Collective space.

This information is not public by default, unless you allow it to be displayed on the enterprise or organization's profile.

Validation of the Collective space

Once the creation of the Collective space is completed, it must be validated by Lobbyisme Québec and then confirmed by the SEO of the enterprise or organization, if applicable. Lobbyisme Québec is committed to processing requests within the timeframes outlined in its service commitment.
 
While awaiting validation, a member of the Collective space may, if their roles si allow:
  1. invite or authorize other individuals to become members;
  2. modify the information about the enterprise or organization;
  3. write mandate drafts.
Once the Collective space is validated by Lobbyisme Québec and by the SEO, the functionalities related to the disclosure of lobbying activities are activated.
