And government House leader Mark Holland's office said Thursday he will propose that the practice be ended for MPs of all parties, after Conservatives signalled their intention to do the same.
As for the Bloc Quebecois and NDP, the parties saw 11 and four of their MPs claiming such costs, respectively. No rules have been broken, but the Opposition whip's office told MPs that a new policy has been set for caucus, according to a recent email obtained by The Canadian Press. "With Canadians continuing to face a cost-of-living crisis, spurred in part by irresponsible government spending, we do not expect that taxpayers should be left paying the bill for the home internet of members of Parliament," Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the Opposition whip, said in a statement Thursday.
"The chief government whip has told Liberal MPs today that going forward, they should not bill for their own home internet expenses and for their staff," Alex Maheux, a spokesperson for Holland, said in a statement.
