Mr. Speaker, as I said, the constitutional practice on this has been clear for 150 years.
What is also clear is that House of Commons resources cannot be used for partisan political activities like the NDP did.
The Leader of the Opposition signed off on employees working in Ottawa, suggesting they were working and living in Ottawa, but actually they were working in an illegal, partisan office in Montreal.
The member for Scarborough Southwest thought this was so impressive that as opposed to giving $140,000 in resources to his community, he funnelled it through an illegal office in Montreal.
