Okay.
What's more, in the example that I gave, the public reporting in the Financial Post was that Mr. Sajjan has also been retained by the Province of British Columbia to advise them on how to get this money as well, and how to “identify business opportunities to tap into the government's defence spending” as an adviser, and that works.
There's really no current practical limit to the connections and influence in securing government contracts by former ministers and members.
