Mr. Chair, all the documentation is perfectly clear. It is extraordinarily clear from these documents that we said at every stage that their home base for administrative purposes was, of course, Ottawa. However, they were entirely free to work in an office for which the party paid rent.
Is the member suggesting that employees may not be exempted from that section? That would be entirely contrary to section 1 of the by-law, which, in defining the term "parliamentary functions", provides that those employees may work where they want.
