Madam Speaker, Motion P-3 is a question for an order of the House to issue copies of every bill submitted by MPs for reimbursement by the Government of Canada for a trip to and from or around Washington, D.C. The Government of Canada did not meet the cost of any trip to Washington. Further inquiries concerning this matter may be addressed to the Clerk of the House.
