“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 chief opposition whip, said in a statement Thursday.
