Mr. Speaker, has the Prime Minister asked that all emails to and from Nigel Wright's email account in the Prime Minister's Office be examined to see if there is any reference whatsoever to the Mike Duffy affair, or to any and all documents concerning the Mike Duffy affair?

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's Office was first informed of this matter on May 14. Who in the Prime Minister's Office knew on May 14?

Mr. Speaker, he is entitled to his entitlements.

Under the law, how much severance pay is Nigel Wright entitled to? Would it just happen to be approximately $90,000?

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, did Nigel Wright receive or will he receive severance pay?

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport explicitly said that the $90,000 cheque was issued “Because we didn’t believe taxpayers should have to pay the cost and Mr. Duffy was not in a position to pay them himself”. Who is we?

Mr. Speaker, when did the Prime Minister first speak with Nigel Wright about the whole question of the Senate expenses scandal?

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, in a typical day, how many times does the Prime Minister speak with his chief of staff?

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just told us that, until May 15, he thought that Mike Duffy was repaying his illegal Senate expenses himself. That raises another question.

On what basis did the Prime Minister assume that Mike Duffy had even agreed to repay his expenses? Who informed the Prime Minister of that?

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, that is interesting. That was not yesterday's excuse.

Does the Prime Minister have proof that the $90,000 cheque his chief of staff gave Mike Duffy was a personal cheque?

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, when was the topic of illegal Senate spending first raised in cabinet?
