"Democracy Watch v. Barry Campbell et al". 10 September 2013. and, making no findings against Campbell or Peterson, stated generally that, "A lobbyist's stock in trade is his or her ability to gain access to decision makers, so as to attempt to influence them directly by persuasion and facts. Where the lobbyist's effectiveness depends upon the decision maker's personal sense of obligation to the lobbyist, or on some other private interest created or facilitated by the lobbyist, the line between legitimate lobbying and illegitimate lobbying has been crossed." This ruling led to a new enforcement standard [2] under the federal Canadian Lobbyists' Code of Conduct which prohibits lobbyists from giving things or doing things for politicians they are lobbying.

He supported John Tory's bid to become Mayor of Toronto in 2003, and was one of 29 co-chairs in the Tory campaign (Canada NewsWire, 23 March 2003). Campbell also worked as a Toronto fundraiser in Paul Martin's bid to lead the Liberal Party in 2003 (Toronto Star, 14 November 2003).
