| | andrewcoyne.com: Lapierre, lobbyiste? |
 | | Lapierre, a consultant to several businesses at the time, approaching him when he was minister of Public Works, asking him to meet "a friend." |
 | | The Bloc has been on to this story for a while now, claiming Lapierre's business activities as a "strategic analyst," in which he arranged for corporate biggies to meet with MPs they wished to influence, amounted to lobbying without a licence, ie without registering as a lobbyist, as required by law. |
 | | Lapierre defended his actions, saying he can't be considered a lobbyist because he never received any remuneration for setting up meetings. |
