It turns out that member took a trip with the minister to California last year for four days and did not declare any hotel expenses. Maybe he was staying at a homeless shelter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"223082\" data-originallang=\"en\">Members of the PMO staff who had important meetings with the U.S. administration flew down and back on the Challenger and did not claim the cost of the Challenger, which was a long-standing practice of the previous government. One meal was picked up at the personal expense of the chief of staff to the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a>.</p>",

L'an dernier, ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 a fait un voyage de quatre jours en Californie avec le ministre et il n'a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 aucune d\u00e9pense d'h\u00f4tel. Peut-\u00eatre a-t-il log\u00e9 dans un refuge pour itin\u00e9rants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"223082\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les membres du personnel du cabinet du premier ministre, qui avaient des r\u00e9unions importantes avec des repr\u00e9sentants de l'administration am\u00e9ricaine, ont fait l'aller-retour en Challenger et n'ont pas r\u00e9clam\u00e9 de d\u00e9penses pour ce voyage, ce qui est une pratique \u00e9tablie depuis longtemps par le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent.
