The Liberals produced paperwork showing that BMCI Consulting Inc. has won more than 50 contracts with the Conservative government, and did two sensitive security investigations for the government — one on the Maxime Bernier affair, the other on a leak of information from the Canadian consulate in Chicago that damaged the Democratic leadership campaign of Barrack Obama.
Ottawa lawyer, businessman and former Conservative candidate Patrick Glemaud, who works for BMCI, is Jaffer’s business partner in Green Power Generation Corporation.
...He said the principals at BMCI are “more Catholic than the Pope,” and he didn’t use Conservative connections to land contracts for them.
The Pope. Well, then. The Liberals may be onto something.
Update: Glemaud (he of the more-catholic-than-the-Pope agency) is not having a good day:
On Tuesday, Jaffer’s business partner, former Conservative candidate Patrick Glemaud, told The Chronicle Herald that he and Jaffer did not lobby the government or try to win funding for projects.
He is contradicted by Jean, the parliamentary secretary to Transport Minister John Baird, who has been sorting through projects for the government’s $1 billion Green Infrastructure Fund. Jean says he rejected three projects proposed by Green Power Generation Corp., the firm owned by Glemaud and Jaffer...“I’ve got the paperwork right in front of me,” he said.
Neither Glemaud nor Jaffer were registered as lobbyists, nor did they report their meeting with Jean. That puts them in violation of the lobbying act.
Harper seems ready to serve both conservatives up. That pretty much tells us Guergis will not be taken back into the fold. Steve gets rid of a troublesome MP and comes out looking like Mr. Do-Right.
