Looking it up, and yes, there's lobbying, it's... rather American, actually

But look at this, here's a page that will interest you, Julia

Elections Canada On-Line | Political Parties, Candidates and Others

If you hit that link, you'll see this:

General Information on Election Financing

* Contributions and Expenses (database) – search tool
o Campaign returns of candidates in an election, leadership contestants, nomination contestants and financial transaction returns of registered electoral district associations and registered political parties
* Contributions and Expenses at a Federal Election or By-election: Candidates and Registered Parties – backgrounder
* Federal Accountability Act – Changes to the Canada Elections Act
* The Delicate Balance between Political Equity and Freedom of Expression - Political Party and Campaign Financing in Canada and the United States (External site)
* Spending Limits
* Limits on Contributions

Normally I'd put the links in for you, but I have to run. I'll be back in a few hours (I'll be reading this thing through too)
