Mr. Speaker, she has asked why Nigel Wright and Senator Duffy find themselves in this situation. The reason they find themselves in this situation is because Senator Duffy had some expenses which he was not entitled to and, unfortunately, Nigel Wright repaid those expenses. Nigel Wright, of course, understands that was a mistake. When the Prime Minister found out about this, he was very clear to Mr. Wright that had he known, he would have in no way approved of such a scheme and that is why Nigel Wright no longer works in the office of the Prime Minister.
In the House of Commons on November 4th, 2013. See this statement in context.
