Boeing wants Doug Ford’s support for federal defence contracts after he endorsed rival Bombardier. The world’s largest lithium producer is lobbying to get in on Canada’s $1.5 billion critical minerals plan. And a group of developers is looking for Ontario government support to build housing on Mississauga’s waterfront.

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.
