Tim Powers put it in cold, harsh terms as he explained something all of Parliament Hill was trying to piece together after gumshoe Derrick Snowdy said he gave the Conservatives no information that would have justified Prime Minister Stephen Harper's abrupt firing of former minister of state Helena Guergis five weeks ago.
"We have a saying in business: you can never fire someone too early," Mr. Powers told The Hill Times as he attempted to explain Mr. Harper's (Calgary Southwest, Alta.) dismissal of Ms. Guergis (Simcoe-Grey, Ont.) over undisclosed activities that, Mr. Harper said, had nothing to do with the government or other ministers.
Since the vacuum of information that surrounded Mr. Harper's announcement about the expulsion of Ms. Guergis from Cabinet and her subsequent rejection as the party's next election candidate in Simcoe-Grey, however, there has been a literal flood of incriminating evidence linking her to undeclared and potentially illegal lobbying activities by her husband, former Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer.
