An Inuit-run television network is asking federal lawmakers to require cable providers to carry its Inuktut-language programming as part of all basic cable packages in Canada, after the channel's initial application was rejected. A company that makes aluminum foil products is lobbying in Ontario for its products to be included on the federal government's list of retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. And a B.C. association wants all social workers in the province to be subject to provincial oversight with no exemptions.

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.
