Opposition MPs are "hopping mad" and prepared to seek perjury charges against former Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer over the blatant contradictions between his House of Common committee testimony that he didn't lobby for green energy money and a trail of government emails that shows otherwise.
"I'm insulted and I'm increasingly angry because he must think we're really stupid or he's not as smart as he looks," NDP MP Pat Martin (Winnipeg Centre, Man.) told The Hill Times. "He left a paper trail a mile wide that proved he just lied his face off. We're hopping mad."
Mr. Martin and Liberal MP Siobhan Coady (St. John's South-Mount Pearl, Nfld.) indicated even though MPs on the House Government Operations Committee are preparing for a key witness this week for the inquiry into Mr. Jaffer's lobbying over the past year—private eye Derrick Snowdy—their sights are already set on Mr. Jaffer's return to the committee for more grilling on June 9.
