Here is The Lobby Monitor's weekly roundup of stories.

This week, we published new registration stories related the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, the decriminalization of prostitution, and more. We also published stories on the lobbying on the Digital Privacy Act and the EU's incremental moves toward a mandatory lobbying registry. Also see our comprehensive coverage of the merger between True North Public Affairs and Global Public Affairs. Boutique firm True North is closing, and lobbyists say it's partly a sign of the times. 

Don't forget to look at our weekly, sortable lists of new registrations and communications reports.
