The search for Mike Duffy’s home

The Senate committee on internal economy announced this morning that it has referred the "residency declarations and related expenses" of senators Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb to an independent auditor. The committee is also "seeking legal advice on the question of Senator Duffy’s residency."

In response, Senator Duffy has issued the following statement.

"As a Prince Edward Islander, born and bred, I am proud to represent my province and its interests in the Senate of Canada.

I represent taxpayers with care, and Canadians know I would never do anything to betray the public trust. I have a home in Prince Edward Island as required by law. I will have no further comment until this review is complete.”
