Tom Mulcair on questions and contradictions in the Senate expenses scandal

The House of Commons gets back to business today, and the Leader of the Opposition, Tom Mulcair, is set to dive back into the Senate expenses scandal.

He is concerned with what he says are inconsistencies that remain unresolved:
