Here is The Lobby Monitor's weekly roundup of stories.
This week, we reported on lobbying activity related to health and the budget, as well as new registrations in defence procurement and other files. We ran a story about TPP lobbying activity and anti-free trade advocates who are picking up the pace. In our regular On Queen Street feature, we looked at Tim Page, head of CADSI, who starts a new executive job in GR next month.
As usual, check out our online, sortable lists of new registrations and communications reports, published end-of-day every Friday.
Readers please note: The Lobby Monitor Morning Brief has moved to a summer schedule. You will continue to receive comprehensive morning briefings, at about 9 a.m., every Tuesday and Thursday, providing you with summaries of fresh news and information about events in the days ahead. The summer schedule will continue until Parliament returns in September.
