Of course, Mr. Speaker, that is a matter of party business, not government business.
The facts have been made very clear on that. Political parties do provide legal support to their members of Parliament, of both Houses, from time to time.
The leader of the NDP should be no stranger to this. He not only has claimed legal expenses from his party, he even succeeded in getting his party to pay court damages against him for a court case, when he lost. I know of no parallel to that in our party.
