After apparent contradictions,
Rahim Jaffer’s appearance before a Commons committee last week may not be his last.

Opposition MPs said Sunday that the former Conservative MP should be called back to explain why he and his business partner, Patrick Glémaud, told the government operations committee that they had never lobbied the government or been paid to do so – denials that appear to have been contradicted by three cabinet ministers.

Pat Martin, a New Democrat MP, told CTV’s Question Period that Mr. Jaffer will have to return to the committee to tell federal politicians why he said his conversations with former colleagues in the Conservative caucus were limited to social banter.

“I think there has to be consequences if you willingly mislead or, slash, lie to a parliamentary committee. We can’t take that lightly,” Mr. Martin said.
