Mr. Speaker, who did the Prime Minister task with managing the crisis surrounding illegal Senate expenses?

Mr. Speaker, who did the Prime Minister task with—

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, has the RCMP contacted the Prime Minister's Office to obtain that email or all other documents that it has in relation to this matter?

[Ethics, May 29th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister acknowledged the existence of the email in which Mike Duffy wrote that he stayed silent on the orders of the Prime Minister's Office.

Who in the Prime Minister's Office has a copy of that email?

[Ethics, May 28th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is simply juggling the same words as his ministers.

There is no legal agreement, but there was an exchange of emails, and we should see something here, because there was an exchange of emails. The cheque is a legal document. It is a negotiable instrument. It should be disclosed. We will find out if it was a personal cheque or one drawn on a trust account.

We have another question.

After expressing full confidence in Pamela Wallin, what did he learn from the audit of Ms. Wallin's expenses that led him to ask Senator Wallin to resign from the Conservative caucus after having expressed full confidence in her and having said in this House that he had personally checked her expenses and that they were fine? What changed?

Mr. Speaker, Benjamin Perrin denies having been a part of the decision to give Mike Duffy the money and write him a cheque. He does not deny having drawn up the agreement for Nigel Wright.

Can the Prime Minister tell us what part Mr. Perrin played in this story?

[Ethics, May 28th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, if he has never seen the cheque, how can the Prime Minister rise in this House and tell us that it is a personal cheque? How does he know that it is not from a trust account? How does he know that if he has never seen the cheque?

Mr. Speaker, actually, when the chief of staff of the Prime Minister in the course of his functions from the Prime Minister's office gives $90,000 to shut up a sitting senator, that is out of the Prime Minister's Office.

No legal document? A cheque is a document. Do they have a copy of the cheque? Has the Prime Minister or anyone in his office seen that cheque?

[Ethics, May 28th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, once Mike Duffy received the $90,000 from the Prime Minister's Office, he stopped cooperating with Deloitte, which was the auditor in the file. Was that part of the deal with Mike Duffy?

[Ethics, May 28th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, Mike Duffy wrote in an email that after being paid $90,000, he “stayed silent on the orders of the Prime Minister's Office”. Who told Mike Duffy to remain silent?
