Mr. Speaker, earlier this week, when caught misusing taxpayers' dollars, the Prime Minister's friends, Gerry and Katie, said that when they reviewed their expenses, they found that there were some that were unreasonable.
The government continued to say that it was following the rules and was forced to make these payouts because of the rules, but in fact, the senior vice-president at Brookfield Global Relocation Services said just minutes ago that they were not forced to do this. As a matter of fact, they would have been briefed on the exact expenses they themselves were claiming.
The question is, did Gerry and Katie believe that these expenses were unreasonable when they claimed them or only when they got caught?
