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

This week, we published new registration stories on Kinross lobbying on sanctions and the insurance industry's interest in weather events related to climate change. We also wrote about Lobbying Commissioner Karen Shepherd's plan to launch a proposed, revised Lobbyists Code of Conduct, for further consultation, in the fall. We published news about Toronto PR and GR firm Devon Group, which is in merger talks with global PR firm Edelman. And watch for a big feature next week: A list of the most registered lobby firms. 

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