The private investigator whose revelations led the Prime Minister to oust Simcoe Grey MP Helena Guergis from the Conservative caucus is now in the spotlight himself.
Derrick Snowdy once ran a private security firm with 400 employees, which went bankrupt in 2007.
He filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009, court documents showing he owed 13 million dollars.
His bankruptcy is still before the courts.
Snowdy is also said to have taken his information about the partying and banking habits of Guergis and her husband, Rahim Jaffer, to the federal liberals, who did not return his call, thinking it might be a set up or a trick.
Meantime, a parliamentary committee will start looking into the activities of Rahim Jaffer next week, exploring his ties to a financier who said Jaffer told him he’d be able to secure government funding for green companies and projects.
Nazim Gillani will appear before that committee on Wednesday.
Jaffer and Guergis are also expected to be called to testify.
And there is a published report out today saying Helena Guergis recommended a company her husband was in talks with as a way of solving Simcoe County’s garbage woes last summer.
The Toronto Star says, on a letter to county councillors, including her cousin, Tony Guergis, who was warden at the time, Guergis recommended Wright Tech Systems, a company that at the time, was in conversation with Rahim Jaffer and Nazim Gillani about finding funding to take it public.
That deal never happened, and the County did not enter into talks with the company, either.
