Francis Drouin a Top 10 MP

He may be part of the Liberal backbench on Parliament Hill but Glengarry-Prescott-Russell MP Francis Drouin is among the Top Ten Most Lobbied MPs in the current Trudeau administration, according to an analysis by The Hill Times, the weekly newspaper for the federal government.

Hill Times staff did a recent review of more than 35,000 records filed to the federal lobbyists’ registry for 2017 and found that Drouin ranks fourth among the top 10 MP’s most lobbied on issues by their constituents. At 136 postings on agricultural issues to the registry, Drouin got more lobbying messages from his rural riding than any member of the Liberal cabinet, except for Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains, MP for Mississauga-Malton.
