Landmark Report Reveals Conflict of Interest in Canadian Lobbying
A recent study by FMinus exposes a significant conflict of interest in Canadian lobbying, where environmental groups and major polluters are represented by the same lobbyists.
Major Canadian environmental organizations and civil society groups are using lobbyists who also represent Canada's biggest polluters, according to a report by FMinus, an American accountability monitor.
"As the climate crisis gets worse for Canadians, there’s a hidden cause,"
said James Browning, founder and executive director of FMinus, in an interview with DeSmog.
The report was prepared in conjunction with Environmental Defence and re•generation, a youth climate advocacy organization.
- FMinus is an American accountability monitor tracking lobby groups with environmental organizations and major polluters as clients.
- Environmental Defence is Canada's leading environmental advocacy organization.
