Mr. Speaker, it is clear the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration is caught in a web of her own making.
From May 21 to June 29, staff members claimed more than $11,000 in travel expenses. Her staff claimed these expenses for work done in her riding during the campaign. This is wrong. The minister just does not get it and she clearly does not care. Now, taxpayers are on the hook for thousands of dollars that essentially funded her campaign.
When will the minister do the honourable thing and step aside?
