Public Affairs Legislative Tracking Software

Track legislative and regulatory activity across federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal government, automatically, and filter it to the acts, topics, and keywords your public affairs work depends on.

Public Affairs Runs on Information Most Teams Are Still Assembling by Hand

Public affairs work touches more of the public record than any one source publishes: bills, regulations, committee schedules, Gazette notices, municipal agendas. Most teams end up checking each source separately and stitching the picture together themselves, which means the picture is always a step behind. Gnowit’s public affairs software pulls it into one continuously updated record and filters it to what your organization actually needs to see.

What a Public Affairs Team Actually Needs to Watch

Public affairs isn’t just legislative tracking with a different name, It typically covers a broader policy and government record: bills moving through Parliament and provincial legislatures, regulatory proposals and amendments published in federal and provincial gazettes, committee studies and hearings that shape policy before it becomes law or regulation, and municipal council activity that can affect operations locally.

Gnowit applies advanced technology to bring all of it together in one place, federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal, at a scale no team could track source by source.

Key Features of Gnowit's Public Affairs Legislative Tracking Software

Coast-to-Coast Coverage, One Platform

Alerts Built Around Your Priorities

Set alerts by act, topic, or keyword, and choose who on your team receives each one. New consultations and approaching deadlines are flagged as soon as they’re posted.

Always the Current Version

See the latest version of any bill or regulation as it moves through the process, so your briefings are never built on outdated text.

Every Level of Government, Read as One Record

Many public affairs issues don’t stay neatly within one jurisdiction. A federal bill can influence provincial regulatory or policy action, which can later surface in municipal council agendas or local implementation decisions. Treating each level of government as a separate silo makes it easier for teams to miss how an issue is actually moving.

Gnowit reads legislative, regulatory, committee, and Gazette activity as one continuous record rather than four separate feeds, so an issue can be followed all the way through, regardless of which level of government it’s currently sitting in.

WHO USES GNOWIT'S PUBLIC AFFAIRS SOFTWARE

Government Relations Teams

Follow bills and regulatory changes tied to specific files, by sponsor, committee, or jurisdiction.

Lobbying Firms

Keep every client’s legislative exposure visible from a single account, rather than tracking each client separately.

Corporations / Corporate Affairs

Catch regulatory changes early enough to brief leadership before they become operational surprises.

Associations

Distribute jurisdiction-specific alerts to members without manually re-checking sources for each one.

Law Firms

Flag legislative amendments relevant to active client files as they happen, not in a weekly digest.

ROI & SUCCESS METRICS

Teams using Gnowit spend a fraction of the time they used to on manually piecing together legislative and regulatory updates across sources, often recovering 10-15 hours a week that used to go to source-checking alone. The value isn’t just time saved, it’s catching an issue while there’s still room to weigh in, instead of finding out once it’s already decided.

Bring Your Public Affairs Monitoring Into One Place

Gnowit gives public affairs teams, corporate affairs departments, associations, and lobbying firms one continuously updated record of legislative and regulatory activity across the Commons, Senate, provincial legislatures, territorial assemblies, and 300+ municipalities.
