Jenni Byrne + Associates does not do federal lobbying, but many of its staff also work at Forecheck Strategies which does
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, left, asks a question during Question Period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Conservative strategist and minority shareholder of the government and public relations firm, Jenni Byrne + Associates, waits to appear as a witness before the procedure and House affairs committee meeting in Ottawa on May 11.
But on the Monday after Mr. Poilievre’s Sept. 10, 2022, leadership win, the president and senior vice-president of Jenni Byrne + Associates incorporated Forecheck Strategies. Many of the staff who work at Ms. Byrne’s firm also lobby federally for Forecheck. In e-mail statements to The Globe, the companies did not address the many overlaps between the two firms, including how the dual roles of staff working at both companies are kept separate. They also did not answer The Globe’s questions about whether they had consulted the lobbying commissioner prior to establishing the separate firm.
