Seeking an experienced government relations/lobbying company with presence in Ottawa to set up meetings with both Ministers of Public Safety, Crown-Indigenous Relations Canada and Indigenous Services Canada or their political staff, and departmental officials (e.g. DM, ADM and Director General level).
