Teachers in Quebec want the province to change its labour laws to give 10 paid days off to all workers experiencing domestic violence. A group representing urban Indigenous people in Canada says the federal government unfairly excluded them from a national council intended to oversee reconciliation. And home builders in B.C. want to pay fewer infrastructure-related fees to municipalities.  

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.
