Just an update from today: http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/201...testimony.html

Nazim Gillani, a Toronto businessman at the centre of lobbying allegations against Rahim Jaffer, has challenged the former Conservative MP's assertion that no business relationship existed between his company and Gillani's firm.

Gillani presented documents to a parliamentary committee in Ottawa on Wednesday that suggest his firm had a contract with Jaffer's company to help secure government funding. Gillani, who insisted on being sworn in for his testimony, told MPs he sought a business relationship with Jaffer because the former MP "knew how to negotiate the government maze."
