Health insurance providers want Saskatchewan to ensure a national dental care plan won’t disrupt their business. An organization claiming to be a “grassroots” oil and gas champion, but with directors who have the same names as former executives of one of the biggest industry lobby groups in the country, wants adjustments to the federal carbon tax. And an aircraft engine repair company wants to sell its services to the Canadian military after the Department of National Defence committed billions of dollars for new fighter jets and surveillance planes.

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.
