Mr. Speaker, as we have said before, the minister has repaid the inappropriate expenses in this matter and has apologized to the House.
As I have said many times, our government expects that ministers and all public officials conduct business with the greatest respect for taxpayer dollars. That is the reason why, compared with the previous government, our costs of ministerial travel are 15% lower. The taxpayers want to see a government that respects taxpayer dollars, and that is what we will continue to do.
