Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has been very clear on this matter.
Mr. Duffy approached the Prime Minister on February 13 and tried to justify these expenses. The Prime Minister said to Mr. Duffy, “Repay those expenses”. That is what he said.
Right now before the Senate we have a motion that will suspend these senators without pay. The Liberals are defending the status quo. They are doing everything in their power to obstruct the motion. They need to get on board, and as the Prime Minister said and as we all believe, pass the motion to get these three senators out of the Senate, because that is what Canadians expect, respect for their tax dollars. Get out of the way and let us do that.
