A new report by FMinus reveals a conflict of interest in Canadian lobbying, where environmental organizations and major polluters share the same lobbyists.
Major Canadian environmental organizations and civil society groups are using lobbyists who also represent big polluters, according to the report published in conjunction with Environmental Defence and re•generation.
“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.
