Staff at then-Public Works Minister Christian Paradis' office went to great lengths to get the pair information.


Paradis' director of parliamentary affairs, Sebastien Togneri, pushed bureaucrats at the highest levels of the department to arrange a meeting with Glemaud and review a project that would put solar panels on the rooftops of government buildings.
