Concerns are being raised about reports that former Conservative MP Chuck Strahl, who now oversees Canada's spy agency, is lobbying for Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline.

. . . . .

Strahl - who is also director and chair of the Manning Centre for Building Democracy, which is dedicated to building Canada's conservative movement - couldn't be reached for comment on the matter Monday by The Vancouver Sun.

However, Cullen said that as a former minister, Strahl is prohibited from federal lobbying, although vague guidelines mean he could skirt the rules and lobby the province, even on a federal pipeline issue.
