Public affairs

Advance your cause

Virtually all industries are impacted by the decisions of governments and regulators. That’s why it is so it crucial to be proactive, be part of the process and influence public opinion, rather than waiting for damaging outcomes. Competition for such influence is now more intense than ever and no organization can afford to be silent while others dominate the debate.

As the enigmatic Winston Churchill so succinctly put it, “There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.”

We help your organization to:

• Track legislative and regulatory proceedings.
• Anticipate and mange emerging regulatory issues that impact your organization and industry.
• Enhance relations with local, provincial and federal government bodies.
• Secure meetings with influential government figures and policy advisors.
• Build and mobilize coalitions to support or oppose proposed bills and regulations.
• Prepare and present submissions to legislative committees
• Wage effective debates in the media and among key stakeholder groups.
