Ontario farmers want funds from the province to strengthen the food supply chain and improve global competitiveness as Donald Trump’s election could mean trouble for Canadian exporters. A coalition of thousands of university teachers across Quebec wants the province to bail on Bill 74, which would give lawmakers the power to limit international student admissions. And the maker of Narcan, a brand-name naloxone spray that can temporarily counteract the effects of an opioid overdose, wants the Ontario Ministry of Health to improve access to its product as a generic alternative hits the market. 

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.
