That's a trick question.
He's obviously both the PM and a corporate lobbyist simultaneously. Yes, it's totally possible to wear both those hats at the same time!
In fact, not only is it possible, it's more or less the norm. Name me a Canadian PM in the last hundred years who wasn't rewarded with corporate sinecures for their service. There are none. If it's not lucrative corporate directorships or starting up a "consultant" shop, or both at once, it's being a top-shelf guy at a blueblood law firm, drawing down a seven number pay packet for the ability to open doors and get access to important decision makers.
Even the folks who weren't rich before they went into politics get rich after they leave.
Makes you wonder how committed any of these people ever were to looking out for the interests of us regular folks.
