The CEO of Canada’s biggest private homebuilder reported lobbying a Conservative MP on housing policy on the same day he went to a private fundraiser for the Conservative Party attended by Pierre Poilievre. An association for independent labour unions in Quebec wants the provincial government to protect the right to strike after workers expressed concerns about a new bill. And a venture capital firm reported meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney about government investments in AI and automation.

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.
