The Duffy Affair: Investigation broadens, implicates 12 Tory MPs

The records show the RCMP has records that show Harb owned a residence in Cobden Ontario until May 2011. Harb is suing the senate claiming he did nothing wrong and the senate mishandled the file.

Records held by CBC show Duffy claimed per diems while campaigning for a list of Conservative candidates in the last election.

The senate has handed over two DVDs filled with documents pertaining to Duffy's expense claims and the minutes of May 28's Board of Internal Economy meeting.
