Form55 also tracks BNS's federal footprint: 15 lobbying registrations naming 9 departments, and $14.0M across 16 federal contracts from 2 departments.

Sources: Elections Canada (individual donations only — corporate political donations banned federally since 2007), the federal Registry of Lobbyists, and federal contract disclosures. Insiders matched to donors by name. Shown for transparency from disclosed public records — this is not a Confluence Score input, implies no causal link between donations, lobbying, or contracts, and is not a claim of wrongdoing.
