Stephen Harper talks to his chief of staff Ray Novak as he makes an election campaign stop at the shipyards in North Vancouver, B.C. Harper is listed as a director, along with former PMO staffers Ray Novak and Jeremy Hunt. Stephen Harper may still be a member of Parliament, but the former prime minister has already taken steps to launch a new career. According to documents filed with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, Harper has created his own corporation. Novak's name came up repeatedly during the 2015 election campaign, as reporters asked the Conservative leader about Novak's knowledge of the Mike Duffy senate expense scandal following testimony at Duffy's trial.
