Scary stupid response from the PM.  This is a matter of personal integrity.  He campaigned that he and his government would be above corruption, be open, accountable, and actively listen to the concerns of Canadians.  And then he is caught writing off the entitlement of his closest aides, who then had to return about a 1/3 of what they claimed.  And now he actively supports his most powerful ministers shilling for political contributions by lending their ear to the well heeled in exchange for contributions and favouritism.  The worst part of it is that Trudeau is a participant in this abhorrent behaviour that ultimately fleeces the Canadian tax payer as tendered projects are narrowed to the favoured few.

And Trudeau is going to give some thought to an issue that placed his Party in the wilderness for 10 years.  What arrogance.  The correct response is to display humbleness, and shut this down, immediately.
