The Canadian Bankers’ Association wants the Saskatchewan government to clarify a law to help victims of financial abuse get loans and improve their credit. Major meat manufacturer Maple Leaf Foods wants to discuss Ontario’s provincial school food program after the government signed a $108.5-million deal with the federal government to expand. And the maker of Nicorette gum wants to discuss potential changes to how B.C. regulates nicotine products intended to help people quit smoking.  

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.
