Breaking: Chief spy watchdog working for Enbridge since 2011

Canada’s top spy watchdog and former Conservative cabinet minister Chuck Strahl, who registered last month as a paid lobbyist for Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines L.P., has in fact been contracted with the company since 2011, the Vancouver Observer has found.

In an email on Saturday, Strahl said he had done "some contract work for Enbridge" before, but stressed he hasn't arranged any lobbyist meetings yet. The Vancouver Observer has since learned that Strahl has been engaged with Enbridge since before he signed on to become SIRC chair.
“I'm no longer an elected guy, I run a small consulting firm, so I only feel partly accountable to the media for my work or my business,” Strahl told the Vancouver Observer.

Strahl is currently chair of the committee that oversees Canada's spy agency, CSIS.  Following his retirement from federal politics, he was appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the position on June 14, 2012.
