Public Controversies
Greg McLean faced public scrutiny in 2021 after reports revealed he had hired his sister to work in his constituency office. While hiring certain family members was permitted under House of Commons rules at the time, the practice was criticized by some as a form of nepotism. The rules regarding the hiring of family members by MPs have since been tightened. In 2023, McLean's expense claims also drew media attention. Reports highlighted that he had claimed significant amounts for per diems, which are meant to cover meal and incidental costs while in Ottawa. The claims were made during periods when the House of Commons was sitting in a hybrid format or not sitting at all due to the COVID-19 pandemic. McLean stated that the expenses were permissible under the rules for MPs who must maintain a secondary residence in the National Capital Region.

Mr. Speaker, I am going to ask the member if she can just tell us what the $1.7 billion would accomplish, because we have already thrown a lot of money at the situation.
