Noble registers on renewable energy
Here is The Lobby Monitor's weekly roundup of stories.
This week The Lobby Monitor introduced two new features: On Queen Street, about personnel changes in the industry; and Policy Map, providing a story and list of the key people in government working on a specific policy file (this week's was about consumer banking). Look for more of these regular features in the coming weeks. We also reported on new registrations, including some interesting work by an aboriginal pipeline group and activity in the wireless sector. Look for an exclusive profile Monday morning on Julie Gelfand, Canada's new environment commissioner.
