I thank my colleague for his question, Mr. Speaker.
Perhaps he believes the motion is not vague enough. I did not hear any specific suggestion about what should be added.
I can say, however, that travel for partisan purposes is a problem. I agree with him on that point.
I think the NDP motion adequately addresses that issue as it seeks to limit travel expenses paid for by the taxpayer to activities that are directly related to senators' legislative functions. When senators travel during an election, is that related to their legislative work?
In my opinion, the motion give us the means and the tools to deal with a senator who spends taxpayer money for partisan purposes.
