Housing concerns reigned supreme in lobbyist registrations this week! Ottawa landlords want to talk with the Ford government about rental policies as the province’s housing sector wrestles with the fallout of the Greenbelt scandal. A B.C. chamber of commerce and two Ontario developers registered to lobby around provincial housing needs after Justin Trudeau said it isn’t a federal responsibility. And Food and Beverage Canada is looking for more support from the federal government to find housing for temporary foreign workers.

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.
