Information & Ethics Committee on March 15th, 2021

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

I'm asking you to put it into the record. Get to it—

[Craig Kielburger]

Yes.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

—or you're going to be brought back to do it.

[The Vice-Chair, Liberal, Brenda Shanahan]

Thank you very much, everyone.

Your time's up, Mr. Poilievre and—

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

On a point of order, Madam Vice-Chair, you're quite wrong. Because you were in the chair, we decided to run the timer. I still have a minute and 25 seconds left. Nice try, but I'll keep going.

[The Vice-Chair, Liberal, Brenda Shanahan]

No, Mr. Poilievre. I am being directed by the clerk.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Nice try. I have the clock right here.

[The Vice-Chair, Liberal, Brenda Shanahan]

It is now time for Ms. Lattanzio.

Please mute, Mr. Poilievre.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

The clerk has just confirmed to me that I do have more than a minute left. She's just said it herself.

[The Vice-Chair, Liberal, Brenda Shanahan]

All right then; I stand corrected. Thank you very much.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

It's very strange—

[The Vice-Chair, Liberal, Brenda Shanahan]

I'm sorry. I'm taking the direction from the clerk as far as the time goes. Thank you for your understanding. Please go ahead, Mr. Poilievre. You have one more minute.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

What is the total dollar value that you've paid Mr. Trudeau, his wife, his brother and his mother?

[Craig Kielburger]

That I can give you. That's what I said, $217,500.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

I want the dollar value including expenses.

[Craig Kielburger]

We paid those expenses directly, of course.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Right, you did that for them.

[Craig Kielburger]

We paid the hotel bill when they stayed or the—

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

That's right.

[Craig Kielburger]

Expenses would have been over, roughly—

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

It's so much money, you can't even keep track of it all.

[Craig Kielburger]

There were 42 events. It was a total of $209,620.16 for the expenses for the individuals, which works out to roughly—

[The Vice-Chair, Liberal, Brenda Shanahan]

I think the chair is back now.

Mr. Chair, there is a point of order. Also, the member's time is up.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Actually, it's not.

A point of order, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Conservative, Chris Warkentin]

Yes. I recognize the point of order, Mr. Poilievre.
