HOW TO READ THIS DOCUMENT

This public record reproduces in full what the Registry of Lobbyists of Canada records about a meeting held on September 17, 2026, then links this meeting to the rest of the investigation: the international procedure SEM-26-003, the federal registers, and the documents published on this site. Each “↗” reference leads to the exact part or page.

Each time you come across the words “En clear”, this is the translation into current French of the point of law or documentary report.

In plain language

A “consultant lobbyist” is a lobbyist paid by a client; its recording is public by default. A “monthly report” is the mandatory reporting of each oral or arranged communication with a “designated public office holder” — minister, appointed ministerial staff, deputy minister, assistant deputy minister. Nothing here is secret: it is a public register, and this is precisely its probative force.

PART 02 — WHY THIS MEETING CROSSES THE SEM-26-003 PROCEDURE

2.1 · THE MANAGEMENT MEET HOLDS THE MANDATE ACEUM / CCE

Official ECCC document, Departmental Overview for the Minister and Deputy Minister (2025), regarding the Strategic Policy and International Affairs Branch (SPIBB):

“Trilateral engagement with the US and Mexico, including through the Canada-US-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA), North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation, and Trilateral Committee for Wildlife and Ecosystem Conservation. »

Two information notes published on the proactive disclosure register confirm that this mandate was active at ministerial level in 2026:

  • March 20, 2026: “The Commission for Environmental Cooperation Council Session 2026” — DGPSAI — addressee: minister — action: decision (ref. 330279)
  • June 19, 2026: “Critical habitat protection for migratory birds listed under the Species at Risk Act” — Canadian Wildlife Service — recipient: minister — action: decision (ref. 329586)

2.2 · THE TRIPLE ROLE OF MICHAEL BONSER

  • (a) Alternate representative of Canada to the CCE (Commission for Environmental Cooperation): It is in this capacity that the positive determination of August 17, 2026 is transmitted to him in official copy (see apercu.html, Part 02 “Who is who” ↗); ↗
  • (b) Delegate Assistant Deputy Minister of the DGPSAI: Management met by the Stablex lobbyist on September 17, 2026;
  • (c) Official recipient of acknowledgment of receipt CCE: Official recipient of acknowledgment of receipt of CCE regarding Canada's response of October 16, 2026 (Exhibit 73-REC).
In plain language

The person met by the client's lobbyist is also the person who represents Canada in the international mechanism that examines Canada's conduct, and the person to whom Canada's response is addressed. I draw no conclusions from this as to the content of the exchanges.

In plain language

PART 03 — WHAT THE REGISTER ALSO SHOWS: POSTING DEADLINES

The Registry lists 87 monthly communications reports involving Mr. Bonser as a designated public office holder. The five most recent:

Customer Communication Display Deadline
Glencore Canada Sep 24, 2026 Oct 15, 2026 21 days
Elk Valley Resources Sep 24, 2026 Oct 15, 2026 21 days

Kathairos Solutions Sep 22, 2026 Oct 9, 2026 17 days
Stablex Sep 17, 2026 Sep 17, 2026 0 days
In plain language

Section 5(3) of the Lobbying Act allows for filing no later than 15 days after the end of the month: early filing is therefore not an offence. Comparative data, nothing more.

PART 04 — AROUND THE MEETING: WHAT THE REGISTERS DO NOT CONTAIN

Verifications carried out on October 18, 2026 on federal databases, all reproducible:

• Environmental Offenders Registry (full export, 290 records, 25 columns): Stablex, Republic Services, US Ecology, Marsulex, Seaway, Blainville → 0 fiche. Aucune condamnation fédérale ; aucune amende ; aucun versement au Fonds pour dommages à l'environnement.
• Federal contracts over $10,000: Queries by field dcterms:title:Stablex / "Republic Services" / Blainville → 0 résultat.
• Subventions et contributions : Requêtes dcterms:title:Stablex et dcterms:creator:Stablex → 0 résultat.
• Frais d'accueil et de voyage : Frais d'accueil (Stablex, Blainville) → 0. Frais de voyage (Stablex) → 0 résultat.

In plain language

The meeting left no additional public documentary record — no contract, no grant, no memo, no decision. The content of the exchange is not public. Only a request for access to information can obtain it: it is formally filed (ECCC, DGPSAI).

PART 05 — THE THREE QUESTIONS SUBMITTED TO THE LOBBYING COMMISSIONER

Addressed to Ms. Nancy Bélanger, Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada (410, avenue Laurier Ouest, bureau 810, Ottawa ON K1R 1B7 · [email protected]). Submitted as regulatory compliance matters, not as accusations.

Reminder: Section 10.4(1) of the Lobbying Act requires the Commissioner to carry out an investigation if she has reason to believe that it is necessary.

Question 1 Exactitude du champ « société mère » — art. 5(2)b) et 5(2)d)

The field states "Republic service", 63 Trade Dr Bldg #4, Massena NY. However, this address is an operational service center (Republic Services Environmental Solutions directory; same address as OP-TECH and NRC NY Environmental Services; NYDEC site report S645029). The parent company is Republic Services, Inc., listed on the NYSE: RSG, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona — official release dated May 2, 2022; Corporations Canada file 759873-4 (exemption for belonging to a company listed on the stock exchange; director in Phoenix); ISED notices 1995-07 and 2022-05 (ultimate control United States; buyer: Republic Services, Inc., Phoenix).

Question 2 Adequacy of declared categories — s. 5(1)(a) and 5(2)(h)

Categories checked: legislative proposal/bill; policies or programs. Declared detail: “advise and inform… keep informed of the work on cell 6”. No relevant bills, regulations, policies, programs, grants, contributions or contracts are identified — and federal records do not contain any in the client's name.

Question 3 Obligation de déclaration interne — art. 7(1)

The client's general manager is designated as the client's representative; no internal lobbying declaration (legal entity) exists in the Register for Stablex Canada inc. Question submitted for statutory verification, without taking a position.
