A climate-focused organization wants federal support to preserve biodiversity by freezing endangered animals' genetic material. A newly-formed federation of Sikh people in Canada wants financial support from the government to protect their communities and counter anti-Sikh hate, as political tensions between India and Canada flare. And a real estate company wants to know how to develop a site in Hamilton, Ont., where archeological discoveries were made. 

Those are just some of the insights from the IJF’s roundup of lobbying registrations at the federal level and in every province across Canada. Each week, the IJF publishes data from our four lobbying databases showing who wants laws changed and who is asking for government money. Think of it as your weekly dose of public policy news before it becomes news.
