Mr. Speaker, that is called leading with your chin. It turns out that member took a trip with the minister to California last year for four days and did not declare any hotel expenses. Maybe he was staying at a homeless shelter.
Members of the PMO staff who had important meetings with the U.S. administration flew down and back on the Challenger and did not claim the cost of the Challenger, which was a long-standing practice of the previous government. One meal was picked up at the personal expense of the chief of staff to the Prime Minister.
