In the 90 days to August 7, 2026, 9 organizations lobbied Heather McPherson across 10 meetings — most often about Environment. The most frequent visitor was Environmental Defence Canada (2 meetings, via Tim Gray), whose registration says it seeks Seeking that the federal government deny changes to the Tripartite Agreement, and therefore not enable a process toward expanding the Toronto Island Airport to accommodate jets. That's more than the average MP, who had 8 meetings over the same period.
