Mr. Speaker, the issue is that there are a number of senators who accepted expenses to which they were not entitled. These three senators are right now before the Senate and we hope the Senate will pass a motion that will suspend these three senators without pay. Canadian taxpayers are looking for that.

At the same time, we know that Nigel Wright issued a cheque to repay Senator Duffy's expenses. That was inappropriate and that is why he is no longer working in the Office of the Prime Minister.
