Jaffer used Guergis's email to push projects

[daleo]

Rahim Jaffer, the former Conservative MP under scrutiny for possible unlawful lobbying of government officials, used one of his wife’s parliamentary email accounts to communicate with at least two ministries about business on behalf of his friends and private companies, documents obtained by CBC News show.

Jaffer sent the emails from an account assigned to MP Helena Guergis, who at the time was the minister for the status of women.

One set of exchanges from last month was to ask an Industry Ministry official about Canada’s plans for space satellites and about national ownership rules in the sector.

In a second set of emails, Jaffer contacted MP Brian Jean, the parliamentary secretary to Infrastructure Minister John Baird, from Guergis's account last summer. That exchange concerned Jaffer's efforts to get $58 million in federal funding for a $290-million solar-power project in Brockville, Ont. Jaffer was pushing for funding from Ottawa's $1-billion Green Infrastructure Fund for the project, being developed by Ontario companies Upper Canada Solar Generation Ltd. and Canadian Solar Inc.

We're still waiting on the documents from Natural Resources Canada. All indications are that they might make the government come off looking really bad in this.
