Mr. Speaker, when Liberal dirty trickster, Adam Carroll, was caught circulating the divorce files of a member of this House, he lost his job. Today, after trying to avoid accountability for months, Parliament finally had a chance to question him. Here is what we learned.
First, the Liberal research bureau keeps copies of divorce files of members of the House in cabinet files in its office. This is an abuse of taxpayer money. The Liberal leader needs to explain why the taxpayer funded Liberal research bureau is paying for this.
Second, we learned that Mr. Carroll may have received a massive payoff from the Liberals. After admitting that he was fired for his actions, Mr. Carroll was asked if he was collecting a severance and he refused to answer.
In any workplace, other than the Liberal Party, when one is fired for cause one does not collect severance. Why does the Liberal Party act differently for its own staff with taxpayer money?
