Committee calls on Jaffer, Guergis to testify in House of Commons

[daleo]

A Parliamentary committee is calling on the key players involved in stories of strip clubs and boozy dinner talk about government grants to testify before a House of Commons committee.

Rather than a direct probe to find out why Helena Guergis was required to resign from cabinet last week, opposition MPs on the Government Operations committee voted Wednesday to launch a probe into the lobbying taking place to secure federal funding for environmental projects.

The committee probe seeks to hear from former minister Helena Guergis, her husband Rahim Jaffer and the two business men Mr. Jaffer met with who are now facing fraud charges. The committee is also inviting the current and former ministers who oversee the government’s green energy funds.

I thought this might be the next step. This is paralleling the Mulroney scandal, as far as I can tell.

Influence-peddling, drugs, the whole 9 yards.

2. This Must

Be sending Harper into tantrums. He will probably leave immediately for Poland.

He is sure to have sore shins after this.

Wonder who will be Brutus in this?
