Report on Jaffer and Glémaud Confirms Conservatives Not Following Their Own Lobbying Rules

OTTAWA – Liberal critic for Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Scott Andrews made the following statement today regarding the report by the Lobbying Commissioner into the actions of Rahim Jaffer and Patrick Glémaud:

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-“The Harper Conservatives rode into power on the white horse of accountability, yet these lobbyists were given unfettered access to this government.

These men are not just anyone.  Both have deep ties to the Harper Conservatives. Rahim Jaffer is the former Conservative Caucus Chair, and he was married to a Conservative cabinet minister. Patrick Glémaud is a former Conservative candidate.

But it takes two to tango. The Ministers and officials who were lobbied by these men could have blown the whistle, but they did not.

In light of the Lobbying Commissioner’s findings, the Harper Conservatives must tell Canadians what measures are in place to ensure that no other individuals are currently enjoying this kind of privileged access, and that no one will enjoy it in the future.”
