Procedure and House Affairs committee  If you have that, and that's the case, then.... As I've said since the beginning, we've been absolutely clear and transparent on this. It's an office paid for 100% by the party, so of course there are party activities that take place there, with the party staff. We've been clear

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We just went over that. If you want to have the same answer and eat up some of your own time.... But I think the answer couldn't have been clearer to your colleague who just asked the exact same question.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The answer is that political parties sometimes give the address of the political party, waiting for a riding association to be up and running and structured. That's what happens in all political parties—yours, ours, theirs. There's nothing there.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  This is a party office. There are several people in there who are party employees. They come under a collective agreement that defines their tasks. Our parliamentary staff do parliamentary work. Our party staff do party work. You're describing some party work. Our party staff do

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Well, it's quite possible if it was done by somebody who was working for the party, but I go back to section 1 of the Members By-Law, “parliamentary functions” include all “duties and activities that relate to the position of Member, wherever performed and whether or not performe

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Woodworth, since the beginning, you've had great difficulty understanding a very clear proposition. At an address where the rent was paid 100% by the NDP, there were certain employees in a union performing work that was party work. At the same address, because it was allowed

Procedure and House Affairs committee  What you have, Mr. Woodworth, is the exact same thing that the Liberals do, the exact same thing that the Conservatives do. We have example after example after example.

Thomas Mulcair

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I think that we all do the same sort of thing. We boast about our bons coups and our mauvais coups, and some of that work involves, as it says right here in the statute—it says and it applies to you and it applies to us—that we're allowed to work wherever we want, whether that wo

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm sorry, I was trying to read the document you just gave me, which you were trying to reference and that I hadn't had occasion to see. It's just a simple explanation of the fact that 59,000 New Democrats across the country took part in the election of a new leader, including 4,

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I wouldn't be surprised. There are people working there who are from the party and it's an office paid for by the party. Sometimes, when you don't have a fully set up and structured riding association yet, you give the party address; no big deal there. Charles Bussières is the a
