Mr. Speaker, first of all, you would hardly expect somebody on the Liberal side of the House to be defending a Conservative senator.
Second, the hon. member's question does not pertain to anything within the administrative responsibilities of the government. We do not control the salaries or office space or whatever of the senators. It is a matter for the internal management of the Senate.
We all hope they will deal with it as quickly as possible so that the kind of conduct that upsets us and so many Canadians will not continue.
