Here is The Lobby Monitor's weekly roundup of stories.
This week, we had stories on new registrations on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), the F-35 procurement file, Health Canada's medical marijuana regulations and privacy and data protection. We reported on June communication filings, which showed industry groups were lobbying on the TFWP before and after changes to the program and that the Canadian Home Builders' Association and Engineers Without Borders held lobby days in June. We also reported on the the foreign lobbying transparency bill and what critics were saying about it.
As usual, check out our online, sortable lists of new registrations and communications reports, published end-of-day every Friday.
