A recently announced major tariff hike on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum contributed to a surge in lobbying from Canada’s steel industry in August, including calls of support urging the federal government to not back down. “We really recommend to the government to move forward with what they announced at the end of August,” said François Desmarais, director of trade and industry affairs with the Canadian Steel Producers Association . “We're saying, don't miss the deadline.

In terms of economic development lobbying, the second-most active organization was the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine , which filed 14 communication reports on the subject last month.
