What the filing shows
John Giamatteo was registered as a lobbyist for BlackBerry Limited, effective September 8, 2026, according to the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada registry. The registration lists no outside lobbying firm, indicating it was filed as an in-house registration on behalf of the company.
Under the federal Lobbying Act, organizations that lobby federal officials are required to register their lobbying activity, and registered lobbyists must file monthly communication reports covering oral, arranged meetings with designated public office holders. BlackBerry's registration falls under this framework.
According to the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada registry, 2 lobbying filings have been reported for BlackBerry over the last 12 months. The registry did not provide further detail beyond the count of filings and the effective date of the latest registration.
BlackBerry on the public record
Separate from the lobbying registry, BlackBerry also appears in federal proactive disclosure records, which the Government of Canada publishes for contracts worth more than $10,000 and for grants and contributions worth more than $25,000. According to those records, BlackBerry has been awarded 15 federal contracts and grants over the last 24 months.
The combined total value of those 15 awards was $8.0 million, according to the proactive disclosure records. The most recent award to BlackBerry was dated April 27, 2026, according to the same source.
The lobbying registration and the contract and grant record are separate public disclosure systems, but both are part of the federal government's broader public record on organizations that engage with federal institutions.
