Mr. Speaker, today the independent expert audit was tabled in the Senate.
Its principal finding was, of course, that the rules were not clear. The Senate has already actually taken action to strengthen and improve those rules. Of course, from our perspective, the government expects the Senate to act and I understand the Senate is acting to ensure a higher standard of judgment applies.
Thus, the senators in question are being asked to repay the sums that were claimed, which were deemed inappropriate by the Senate.
