Given the range of inputs that influence the success of government relations activities, we provide guidance by assessing the issues, the strength of your business case, the positions of government and priority stakeholders, and realistic time frames to resolution.


Local and Federal Government Relations

Our team has in-depth knowledge of issues and initiatives across many of the sectors of importance to the economy. And they know that issues are rarely driven, influenced and resolved within a single jurisdiction.

Policy Research and Position Papers

Organizations that clearly articulate their issue and implications, and present recommendations based on evidence stand the best chance of success. We assist clients to develop position papers, white papers and consultation submissions that frame the issue in language that will resonate with decision-makers, peer groups and key stakeholders.


Parliamentary Appearances

Increasingly, organizations must appear before Government committees to give evidence or expert opinion on any number of issues. We prepare you for appearances before Standing Committees by developing messaging, reviewing anticipated questions and answers, rules of procedure, and etiquette. With presentation coaching, we ensure presentations are clear and resonate with decision makers.

Issues Monitoring

Our issue analysis process includes a review of the political and stakeholder landscape, historical precedents, likely scenarios, and recommendations. We track developments in government committees, legislative announcements, as well as traditional and social media outlets.


Message Development

We understand that fundamental to all written, verbal, and online communication, message development begins at the outset to reduce risk, save time, and ensure content consistency across all print and online collateral materials.

Lobby Days

Government engagement is an ongoing process as policies and key influencers change. We provide recommendations on meeting frequency for impact taking into consideration logistical and resource requirements. Organizations will be prepared for government and stakeholder meetings with briefing materials, coordinated social media efforts, and logistical arrangements to ensure outreach efforts are effective.


Coalition Building

Coalitions or trade associations can effectively participate in government debates, demonstrate unity in a business sector, and navigate issues on behalf of the companies involved. We work with industry associations and coalitions across sectors by delivering a full suite of secretariat services.

Municipal Public Affairs

Having worked with numerous municipalities on a multitude of issues, we understand the policy and process levers to advance issues locally. We assist clients to navigate this important but qualitatively different level of government.
