Overview

• Ontario's Integrity Commissioner found Amin Massoudi violated lobbying rules by failing to register a 2023 lobbying contact with a public office holder.
• The breach included offering a Toronto Raptors ticket to the public office holder the day before the lobbying discussion, creating a potential conflict of interest.
• The Integrity Commissioner issued a notice of non-compliance as Massoudi's sole sanction, with no further penalties announced.
• Massoudi, who served as Doug Ford's principal secretary until 2022, stated he has since improved compliance protocols and called the incident a learning opportunity.
• The notice comes amid ongoing ethics investigations into Greenbelt-related lobbying breaches, including Ontario's first-ever lobbying ban issued in April 2025.
