Friendship Groups
Other groups, often referred to as "friendship groups", do not receive administrative or financial support from the Parliament of Canada. These groups are not required to register their activities or membership with the Council, but they are encouraged to advise the International and Interparliamentary Affairs Directorate (at FGGA@parl.gc.ca )in order to assist those who might wish to contact them.
