Mr. Speaker, it had everything to do with both. So does the collective ad buy that the member participated in.
The member for Beauséjour and a group of New Brunswick Liberals joined in a regional media buy in the 2006 election organized by the national party and then paid for by the national party. In fact, the invoice was never even given to the local candidates. It was given to the national party and local candidates then paid to the party.
Interestingly, while it was seen as a local expense in the ad, he did not book it in his election expenses. Can he explain why not?
