Lobbyists representing Boeing Operations International and Boeing Global Sales met 23 times with federal officials, including with Defence, Industry, Public Services and Procurement and even senior staff in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office. Lockheed Martin, based in Bethesda, Md., the world's largest defence contractor, had only three recorded meetings, according to the registry. Officials at Lockheed Martin did not return messages. The federal registry shows lobbyists for Dassault met eight times in total with federal officials, most of the time at National Defence. Instead, they were offered sessions with senior officials and only Boeing seized the opportunity.
