A company owned by billionaire Frank Stronach wants its three-wheeled electric vehicle – which it claims will reduce congestion and emissions in urban centres – to be allowed on Ontario’s roads. A group fighting to end Indigenous homelessness is asking the federal government for money after securing some from Ontario and Toronto. And a coalition of some of Canada’s most prominent arts organizations say they need emergency government money to avoid shutting their doors.
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.
