Pamela Wallin

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s bid to take the Liberal party out of the Senate is being lauded by some but will have little impact, according to Liberal senators themselves. Trudeau announced Wednesday that he had asked Liberal senators to sit as independents, effectively dissolving the Liberal caucus in the Senate.

The Senate subcommittee that has been reviewing questionable expenses was warned roughly 18 months ago that there were potential problems with Pamela Wallin’s travel claims.
