Not that it's relevant, Mr. Chair, but if Ms. Shanahan looked at that, she would notice that I flew in the night before the caucus meeting and left the next day after the caucus meeting, not that she would want to worry about details like that. Obviously she's never let facts get in the way of a good partisan job, but that's for her to live with and not for me.
My expenses are all a matter of the public record, and I am more than happy to defend attending caucus meetings where we are committed as a Conservative caucus to axing the tax, building homes, fixing the budget and stopping crime. That's what we're focused on. We're not focused on the Liberal cover-up that we're seeing, not only with this motion but with their complete and utter disregard for the findings of the Auditor General and trying to disrupt the meeting every time.
Ms. Shanahan calls for relevance. Well, this is relevant. It is relevant because this is being used by the Liberal members on this committee, by the Liberal national caucus chair, to try to distract and change the subject matter for upcoming meetings, especially after they made such a silly, comical display last week to reinforce what the chair had already decided.
I think this is nothing more than a Liberal attempt to distract away from the real matter, which is, of course, arrive scam, and I will leave my comments there, Mr. Chair.
