Thank you for your question.
Yes. The parliamentary secretary asked an open-ended question about why we would have these files.
There is information in those affidavits that is very relevant to the work of the House of Commons and to members of Parliament, in particular with respect to the discussion of meal expenses. It's been a little while since I've had the opportunity to go through each and every one of the postings, but if I recall, there seemed to be a couple of postings. One in particular said:
Vic claims the maximum allowable in “per diems” for food ($83.30 per day) because no receipts are required. This is what amounts to a tax free allowance for Vic, in the past, while we were living together, of approximately $10,000.00 per year.
There is another point in here that says,
Vic receives approximately $25,500 tax free annually from the government in order to pay for his accommodation and meals while in Ottawa.
Then we get into the next section, which I term Vikieats, where we talk about how that money was spent, or whether these per diems were claimed while he was also out spending over $500 on pancakes.
