The Lobby Monitor brings you your weekly roundup in a new and mobile-friendly format. Similar to an app, the weekly mail-out adapts to your smartphone, tablet or computer. It is easy to navigate and helps you stay ahead of the information curve.
This week The Lobby Monitor again looked at charities' lobbying on the government's omnibus budget bill, which is expected to pass in the coming weeks. We reported on Alberta Premier Alison Redford's new Ottawa office, the restaurants' and dairy farmers' competing campaigns, and the effectiveness of the environmental groups' BlackOutSpeakOut campaign. New registrations are also listed on our site.
We always welcome feedback.
