Mr. Speaker, the hon. member has used the word corruption. What possibly did I or any member of my family gain by renting and paying $800 for a weekend at a chalet? Who in their right mind would think there was a benefit to anyone from that? Surely if there was by anyone, it was not me, it was not my son, it was not my daughter, it was not my grandchildren and it was not anyone else.
