New twists in the ongoing controversy swirling around former federal cabinet minister Helena Guergis and her husband Rahim Jaffer.

CTV News reports on allegations Jaffer had made overtures to Industry Minister Tony Clement’s office, and an associate of Jaffer’s made a business pitch to Science Minister Gary Goodyear’s office.
