As I recall, Rahim Jaffer set up his business in his wife Helena Guergis' Ministerial office ON THE HILL, using her office, equipment, Ministerial email, cell phone, car and driver, and was given access to Ministers and top civil servants. He was apparently, according to Harper, not lobbying because he didn't get paid :-) Weirdly enough, Guergis didn't lose her Cabinet post, let alone her caucus membership for this clear rip off of the taxpayer - she didn't get canned until later on completely bogus claims.
