Manufacturers of vitamins, minerals and herbal remedies in Canada are fighting Health Canada over attempts to regulate the supplement industry. Exercise equipment company Peloton is asking Ontario’s government to pass a “physical activity tax credit.” And the sixth-largest bank in Canada wants to re-open a debate about creating a single financial securities commission instead of decentralized provincial regulators.
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.
