After disruptions in travel for thousands of passengers over the Canada Day long weekend, both WestJet and the mechanics union striking against the airline updated their lobbying registrations. Ontario landfills are nearing capacity and a waste management company wants to share its ideas for next steps with the provincial government. And a bill to compel financial institutions to make and keep climate commitments has been stalled in committee for more than a year, so an environmental law charity is encouraging the House of Commons and the Senate to keep it moving.

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.
