Political Footprint
Donations · lobbying · contracts

14 insiders linked to CNQ are also individual political donors — $52K across 153 donations (2009–2025).

Conservative Party of Canada · $35K Liberal Party of Canada · $17K

Form55 also tracks CNQ's federal footprint: 1 lobbying registration naming 7 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.
