Toronto-based mining company Barrick Gold has registered a lobbyist in B.C. to push for mineral and infrastructure development in the province. An airline that flies into northern communities wants to discuss federal air travel policies, including the impact of transferring more federal powers to Nunavut. And car-making giants Honda and Toyota are both lobbying the B.C. government about its electric vehicle (EV) law, as the province appears to be ahead of schedule in its EV sales goal while the federal government lags.

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.
