1. Executive summary
1.1 Background The Senate of Canada recognizes that travel is a necessary component of senators’ parliamentary functions. Parliamentary functions are typically carried out in Ottawa and Senators must travel to and from their primary residences in order to attend Senate sittings and committee meetings. Parliamentary functions are also carried out in senators’ regions and, from time-to-time, senators may be required to travel to other locations, both within Canada and internationally, in the service of the Senate. Senators claim their office and travel expenses in compliance with the Parliament of Canada Act and internal rules and policies of the Senate.
Senator Pamela Wallin, appointed in late December 2008, has been travelling regularly from and to Saskatchewan with extended stays and stopovers in Toronto. Senator Wallin’s claims have been made mainly with the purpose indicated as “Senate business”. These claims appeared to be compliant with the expense policies and were processed on that basis by Senate Finance. In late 2012, Senator Wallin’s travel expense claims were under review as it was brought to the Senate’s attention that, although Senator Wallin had been following the proper procedures for submitting expense claims, the purpose of travel and the travel patterns may not be compliant with Senate travel policies and guidelines.
1.2 Retainer Deloitte LLP (“Deloitte”) was retained by the Senate of Canada (“Senate”) to undertake a review the appropriateness of Senator Wallin’s expense claims and to report on monies owing, if any, to the Receiver General.
More specifically, the Senate engaged Deloitte to:
• Review the travel claims and any supporting documentation regarding the nature of the parliamentary business, and
• Categorize the claims as either:
o Appropriate in keeping with Senate practice,
o Subject to reimbursement to the Receiver General, or
o Subject to interpretation and determination by the Steering Committee of Internal Economy
The initial Review Period for this engagement was from April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012; however, subsequent to Deloitte providing an interim briefing on the preliminary results of our review of the initial period, the Senate expanded the period under review to include all claims by Senator Wallin from January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2012. This included a review of Senator Wallin’s claims for living allowance in the National Capital Region.
1.3 Framework and guidelines related to Senators’ travel expenses and allowances
Senators claim their office and travel expenses in compliance with the Parliament of Canada Act and internal rules and policies of the Senate. Senators are able to request reimbursement of travel and other

expenses by indicating on their claims “parliamentary” or “Senate business” as the purpose, with no further requirement to demonstrate the appropriateness of the claim to Senate Finance, which processes the claims. Senators are required to retain the details of the nature of the parliamentary business for which they have been reimbursed in their offices for seven (7) years.
Chapter 4, s. 1 of the Senators’ Resource Guide states: “Senators are entitled to travel at Senate expense to carry out their parliamentary functions within their region, to and from Ottawa and elsewhere in Canada, to Washington, D. C. and to New York City”. Section 2.1.1 of the Travel Policy (June 5, 2012) provides a similar entitlement and Appendix A to the Travel Policy provides some specific examples of costs that the Senate will, and will not, fund.
In assessing Senator Wallin’s Travel Expense Claims, we have obtained from her, and from a variety of other sources, information regarding the nature of the events that she attended, and the underlying purpose of her travel. We have assessed whether or not these events would be regarded as carrying out the Senator’s “parliamentary functions” and in doing so have considered:
• Appendix A to the Senator’s Travel Policy. Although it was introduced on June 5, 2012, we have applied these examples throughout the period of our review, as we understand they provide specific examples of the existing policy principles
• The Steering Committee of Internal Economy’s review of items highlighted by Deloitte from our review of the initial period
Senator Wallin is the only Senator for whom we have reviewed travel expenses. As a result, we are not aware of the extent, if any, that expenses relating to activities similar to those identified in this report as being subject to reimbursement to the Receiver General may have been claimed by and reimbursed to other Senators in previous years.
1.4 Assessment of travel expense claims During the period January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2012, Senator Wallin made travel expense claims in the amount of $532,508. We have assessed these claims into the three categories referred to in Section 1.2 above, as set out in the following table:

1.4.1 Approach For most of Senator Wallin’s travel claims, the purpose of the travel was stated as “Senate Business”, in accordance with what we understand is the general practice in the Senate. For a limited number of travel claims there was additional narrative or supporting information around the purpose for travel in the documentation supporting the claim maintained by Senate Finance. If such information was insufficient for us to establish the purpose of the travel and the nature of the event(s) related to the travel, we obtained further information from the following sources:
• Senator Wallin and her current Executive Assistant • Senator Wallin’s calendars • Research – e.g. internet and third party
1.4.2 Amount subject to reimbursement to the Receiver General This includes two components (non-Senate business and incremental costs).
The amount related to non-Senate business from these claims totaled $90,323, as they fell into one or more of the following1:
• travel claim was reimbursed by Senator Wallin as she deemed the claim was for personal business;
• travel claim was for private business commitments made prior to Senator Wallin’s appointment to the Senate (Senator Wallin has indicated that she understood that these costs were to be covered);
• travel claim included amounts related to returning to Ottawa from private business activities; • travel claim related to speaking or other events which were non-Senate related; and • travel claim related to partisan related activity, such as fundraising.
The amount related to incremental costs from these claims totaled $31,025. These are additional costs incurred by the Senator as she stopped in Toronto on her way between Ottawa and Saskatchewan. In quantifying the amount to be repaid to the Receiver General, we have determined that such additional costs would appear to be appropriately charged to the Senate (and therefore not repayable to the Receiver General) in the following situations:
• Where Senator Wallin had to be in Toronto during the stopover period to attend to Senate business; and/or
• Where the Senator was required to be in Ottawa or Saskatchewan for Senate business at such times of the day that a direct or connecting flight to/from Saskatchewan would not have been reasonable, given the approximately two hour drive that the Senator has to take once in Saskatchewan to reach Wadena.
In other circumstances, we have categorized the additional costs incurred as repayable to the Receiver General.
1 Note that because many of Senator Wallin’s travel claims cover more than one trip, and as she often undertook more than one activity on those trips, there was often more than one of the above reasons for categorizing the claims as subject to reimbursement to the Receiver General

1.4.3 Amount Subject to Interpretation by the Steering Committee of Internal Economy
Travel claims subject to interpretation and determination by the Steering Committee of Internal Economy include two types of claims: (i) travel that is related to “networking events”, and (ii) other events, including speeches. In total, Deloitte has determined that $20,978 is Subject to interpretation and determination by the Steering Committee.
With regards to “networking events” it is Senator Wallin’s position that when she was appointed, she understood that her “networking” with contacts was an important part of her role, to “… be open, accessible and in touch with as many “communities of interest” as possible to ensure that she would be an activist and effective Senator…”
We provided a list of such meetings for the period April 2009 to August 2011 to the Steering Committee, together with Senator Wallin’s description of these meetings and why they qualified as Senate Business, for the Steering Committee’s interpretation as to whether or not they would qualify as “Senate Business” for the purpose of claiming travel expenses2. The Steering Committee determined that, while occasional, exceptional occurrences for special events might be acceptable, the volume and pattern of the events listed would not qualify them as Senate business3.
1.5 Assessment of living allowances claims Senators who come to Ottawa to carry out their parliamentary functions and who are more than 100 kilometres from their primary residence when in Ottawa are on travel status in the NCR and are entitled to be reimbursed for living expenses in the NCR. Senator Wallin declared her property in Wadena, Saskatchewan to be her primary residence for the Review Period.
Senator Wallin’s expense claims related to living allowances in the NCR consist of claims for private accommodation in the NCR from April 2009 to June 2011 (for having a property she owned in Ottawa available for her in Ottawa to undertake Senate business), stays in commercial accommodation (hotels) from January 2009 to March 2009 and from July 2011 to September 2012, plus per diem amounts related to meals and incidentals. Such claims total $52,099.
The regulations and guidelines applicable during the period of our examination do not include criteria for determining “primary residence”. As such, we are not able to assess the status of the primary residence declared by Senator Wallin against existing regulations and guidelines. However, given the travel pattern that we did identify, the fact that the Senator did not maintain a residence in Ottawa for nineteen months of the forty-five month review period, and as Senator Wallin was rarely in Ottawa for non-Senate business, we conclude that her primary residence was more than 100km from the NCR. As such, the NCR living allowances claimed by Senator Wallin appear to be appropriate in keeping with Senate practice.
2 At Senator Wallin’s request, although we were provided with the names of the individuals that she met with, we provided the Steering Committee with descriptions of the roles of the individuals rather than their names, to protect their privacy. 3 Communication received on June 20, 2013,

2.2 Limitations in scope Our review was based on available documentation collected in the course of our review and the discussions and interviews we conducted as set out under the “Scope” section above. To the extent that we receive additional information after the date of this report, our findings herein may require revisions.
Our review was limited to Senator Wallin’s travel expense and living allowance claims. We did not perform a review or analysis of other expenses, if any, that Senator Wallin has charged to the Senate since becoming a Senator, for example within her office budget.
Senator Wallin is the only Senator for whom we have reviewed travel expenses. As a result, we are not aware of the extent, if any, that expenses relating to some or all of the activities identified in this report as not being eligible for reimbursement under the Senate’s expense framework may have been claimed by and reimbursed to other Senators.
2.3 Restrictions We reserve the right, but will be under no obligation, to review this report, and if we consider it necessary, to revise our report in light of any additional information, which becomes known to us after the date of this report.
2.3.1 Procedures do not constitute an audit of financial statements An audit is generally performed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that financial statements are free from material error whereas a forensic examination utilizes accounting and investigative techniques to provide an analysis related to issues and questions that have arisen.
Deloitte was not engaged to, and did not perform a financial statement audit, review or compilation for the purpose of expressing an opinion on historical financial statements in accordance with standards established by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”). Accordingly, Deloitte does not express such an opinion or any form of assurance. The forensic examination procedures undertaken were consistent with the “Standard Practices for Investigative and Forensic Accounting Engagements” (effective date March 1, 2007) developed by the Alliance for Excellence in Investigative and Forensic Accounting (“IFA Alliance”) on behalf of the CICA.

3. Framework and guidelines related to Senators’ travel expenses
3.1 Period of review and relevant framework of travel expenses Our review encompasses the period from January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2012. The various expense reimbursements and allowances to which Senators are entitled are to be claimed and paid in accordance with the Senate Administrative Rules (“SARs”), together with their underlying supporting guidelines and policies.
3.1.1 Senate rules, guidelines, and policies related to travel The SARs govern the administration of the Senate and are supplemented by underlying policies and guidelines. We have been provided with, and reviewed, three versions of the SARs relevant to our Review Period, as follows:
• June 21, 2007 to June 15, 2009 • June 16, 2009 to June 4, 2012, and • June 5, 2012 to the date of this report.
All versions of the SARs include the following preface:
“The Senate Administrative Rules govern Senate administrative practice. They complement and are of equal authority to the Rules of the Senate, which govern Senate procedure. In the interests of good governance, the administrative rules codify comprehensively the fundamental principles and rules governing the internal administration of the Senate and its allocation and use of resources.
The Senate Administrative Rules are subject to statute law that applies to the Senate. Of particular note are the Constitution Acts, 1867 and 1982, the Parliament of Canada Act, the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act and the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act.
The Senate Administrative Rules are supplemented by policies, guidelines, opinions, directives, forms and practices adopted or implemented by the Senate, the Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration and the Clerk of the Senate.
The Internal Economy Committee is responsible for the administration of the Senate Administrative Rules and for giving guidance on their interpretation to Senators and the Senate Administration.”
Effective June 5, 2012 the Senators’ Travel Policy was introduced, which effectively replaced the previous SARs Section 4:03 Travel Entitlements and Expenses.
The SARs are supported by the following underlying guidelines and policies related to travel:

For the purposes of this report, we have referred to these documents as “SARs and underlying guidelines and policies related to travel”. Refer to the table below that sets out these documents, and the time periods for which they apply during the Review Period.
Figure 1 - Chronology of travel related rules, guidelines and policies
3.2 Senators’ requirement to travel Throughout the period under review, the Senators’ entitlement to travel at senate expense is set out in the Senators’ Resource Guide, as well as in the Senators’ Travel Policy upon its adoption on June 5, 2012. These documents describe the Senators’ travel requirements as follows:
Senator’s Resource Guide – Chapter 4
Note – This section was unchanged by amendments during the review period
Section 1 – Introduction:
“Senators are entitled to travel at Senate expense to carry out their parliamentary functions within their region, to and from Ottawa and elsewhere in Canada, to Washington, D. C. and to New York City”
[There are restrictions for travel to New York City and Washington D.C.]
Senators’ Travel Policy Section 2.1 – Policy Context:
“2.1.1 - This policy recognizes that travel is a necessary component of Senators' parliamentary functions. Parliamentary functions are typically carried out in Ottawa and Senators must travel to and from their primary residences in order to attend Senate sittings and committee meetings.

in Senators' regions and, from time-to-time, Senators may be required to travel to other locations, both within Canada and internationally, in the service of the Senate.”
Section 2.7 – Purpose of Travel
“2.7.1 - The intent of the 64-point Travel System is to fund travel incurred in the carrying out of Senators' parliamentary functions or that is otherwise incurred for the service of the Senate.”
“2.7.4 In addition to their work in the Senate chamber and in committee, Senators typically take on a wide range of activities. While many of these activities can be considered as "public business" for the purposes of the Senators Attendance Policy, it should be noted that if they are not related to the Senator's parliamentary functions they shall not be reimbursed under the 64-point travel system.”
It should be noted that each of these documents identifies funded travel as travel incurred in the carrying out the Senators’ “parliamentary functions”. The Senators’ Travel Policy expands on this in Section 2.7.1 by including “travel… otherwise incurred for the service of the Senate”; however, Section 2.7.4 notes that”… if they [activities] are not related to the Senator's parliamentary functions they shall not be reimbursed under the 64-point travel system”. The Senators’ Travel Policy, effective June 5, 2012, provides examples of such activities in its Appendix A – Examples of Travel Purpose, where it describes examples of both funded and unfunded travel (also attached in Appendix C of this report).
3.3 Purpose of travel Senate travel related Guidelines and Policies have been consistent throughout the Review Period in funding travel incurred in the carrying out of Senators’ “parliamentary functions”, which have been defined consistently throughout the Review Period in the SARs Chapter 1:03.1, as well as in the Senators’ Travel Policy Section 1.5.6 as follows:
“…parliamentary functions" means duties and activities related to the position of a Senator, wherever performed, and includes public and official business and partisan matters, but does not include activities related to:
(a) the election of a member of the House of Commons during an election under the Canada Elections Act; or
(b) the private business interests of a Senator or a member of a Senator's family or household.”
We noted that this definition further identifies the terms “public business”, “official business”, “partisan matters”, and “private business”. In addition, this definition introduces the concept of “activities related to the position of a Senator”.
3.3.1 Public business Public business is defined consistently in Chapter 1:03.1 of the SARs throughout the Review Period as:
“1:03.1 - "public business" means all business carried on by a Senator for public purposes, whether or not authorized by the Senate or the Government of Canada, and includes official business, representative business, partisan business and related travel, but does not include attending to one's private concerns.”
This term is not defined in any of the other travel related policies or guidelines. This definition refers to the terms “official business”, “representative business”, “partisan business”, and “private concerns”. Of these terms, only “official business” is defined in the SARs and underlying travel related guidelines.

3.3.2 Official business Official business is defined consistently in Chapter 1:03.1 of the SARs throughout the Review Period as:
"…Official Business" means public business that has been authorized by the Senate or a committee of the Senate or requested in Writing by a Minister or the Crown.”
We noted that “Official Business” is described as a subset “Public Business” that has been specifically authorized by the Senate or a committee of the Senate or requested in Writing by a Minister of the Crown.
3.3.3 Partisan matters and partisan business During our review of the SARs and their underlying travel related guidelines and policy we did not note a formal definition of the terms “Partisan Matters” or “Partisan Business”; however, we did note that the definition of “Parliamentary Function” within chapter 1.5.6 of the Travel Policy specifically excludes the following”
“(a) the election of a member of the House of Commons during an election under the Canada Elections Act…”
In addition, Appendix A of the Senators’ Travel Policy provides the following relevant examples of typical travel carried out by Senators:
Table 1 - Extract from the Senators' Travel Policy - Appendix A related to “partisan matters” or “partisan business” (refer to Appendix C for complete listing of examples)
Purpose of travel Fully Funded Funded with Restrictions Unfunded
Participation in party activities that are related to the work of the Senator or the Senate and its proceedings
Participation in party activities that are purely partisan matters such as election activities.
3.3.4 Representative business During our review of the SARs and their underlying travel related guidelines and policy we did not note a formal definition of the term “Representative Business”.
3.3.5 Private concerns and private business During our review of the SARs and their underlying travel related guidelines and policy we did not note a formal definition of the terms “Private Concerns” or “Private Business”; however, we noted that Appendix A of the Senators’ Travel Policy provides the following relevant examples of typical travel carried out by Senators:
Table 2 – Sample extract from the Senators' Travel Policy - Appendix A related to “private concerns” or “private business” (refer to Appendix C for complete listing of examples)
Purpose of Travel Fully Funded Funded with Restrictions Unfunded
To receive an honorary degree, award, medal or other similar honour in recognition of life-time achievements not directly related to Senate Work

Purpose of Travel Fully Funded Funded with Restrictions Unfunded
“Life events” of friends and family members: weddings, anniversary celebrations, hospital visits, birthdays, graduations, etc.
Funerals of friends and family members (other than those included above).
3.3.6 Activities related to the position of a Senator During our review of the SARs and their underlying guidelines and policies related to travel, we did not note a formal definition or description of the concept of “Activities Related to the Position of a Senator”, other than the terms described above. The Senators’ Travel Policy Section 2.7 – Purpose of Travel notes the following:
“In all situations, the onus is upon Senators to only claim for travel that is related to their parliamentary functions. Appendix A could be used to assist in terms of description and eligibility.”
3.4 Overriding principles Chapter 4.03 – Travel Entitlements and Expenses of the SARs included the following regarding allowed costs:
“10. No person shall cause the Senate to pay or reimburse a cost under this chapter unless the cost was actually incurred, reasonable and authorized, and is either an allowance or is supported by a receipt or other documentation.”
The Travel Policy (effective June 5, 2012) provides context that is useful to repeat here:
“2.1.1 This policy recognizes that travel is a necessary component of Senators’ parliamentary functions. Parliamentary functions are typically carried out in Ottawa and Senators must travel to and from their primary residences in order to attend Senate sittings and committee meetings. Parliamentary functions are also carried out in Senators’ regions and, from time-to-time, Senators may be required to travel to other locations, both within Canada and internationally, in the service of the Senate.
2.1.2 This policy also recognizes that a Senator’s parliamentary functions can result in frequent and lengthy periods of separation from family. In that context, the policy provides for family-reunion travel as an important contributor to the health and well-being of Senators and their families.
2.1.3 However, spending public funds on travel is a sensitive matter and sound judgement must be exercised when travel-related decisions are made. It is expected that decisions to incur travel expenditures will be made with due regard to the need, frequency, cost, and purpose as it relates to a Senator’s parliamentary functions.”
The Travel Policy outlines four (4) principles guiding the application of travel practices:
“2.2.2 Trust and flexibility: travellers should have sufficient discretion and latitude to act in a fair and reasonable manner in determining travel arrangements that best respond to their needs and interests.
© Deloitte LLP and affiliated entities. Review of Senator Wallin’s’ Travel Expense and Living Allowance Claims 13
2.2.3 Transparency and accountability: the consistent, fair, and equitable application of the policy and its practices is best achieved when an appropriate travel accountability framework and structure is in place.
2.2.4 Valuing people: travel policies are fair when they support the health, safety, and well-being, in a travel context, of travellers and their families.
2.2.5 Modern travel practices: travel policies are most effective when they are in keeping with modern management practices and travel industry trends and realities.”
3.5 Allowable expenses Allowable expenses under the 64-Point Travel System are set out in the SARs and underlying guidelines and policies, and cover:
• Transportation (see Appendix A) o Airfare o Use of private vehicles o Taxi(s) o Car rental and gas o Other (train, bus, parking, etc.)
• Accommodation and per diems (see Appendix B)
o Commercial accommodation o Private accommodation o Full per diem o Partial day per diem
The Senators’ Travel Policy Section 2.18.1 requires that sufficient and appropriate supporting documentation be provided with the claim to demonstrate that claims are accurate, valid and compliant with policies, rules, and regulations.
3.6 Other travel expenses and committee travel Other travel expenses and Committee travel guidelines are included in sections 2.12 and 2.16 of the Travel Policy as follows:
2.12.3 Fees charged by travel agencies for booking travel arrangements shall be reimbursed as part of the expense to which the fee relates.
2.16.1 The 64-point travel system shall not be used for committee travel. However, when a Senator is required to travel from one location in Canada to the Canadian departure point for a committee trip, travel to the departure point may be charged to the 64-point system as either a regional or regular trip, whatever the case may be.
3.7 Summary Although, as indicated above, several changes were made to the underlying policies and guidelines governing Senators’ travel in the Review Period, the overall principles of the policy did not change; ie., that travel costs would be reimbursed if the purpose of the travel was to carry out the Senator’s parliamentary functions.

Deloitte Findings
During the period of our review, Senator Wallin was active in the Senate in a number of areas, including:
• Deputy-Chair, and subsequently Chair, of the Senate's National Security & Defence Committee, • serving on the Veterans Affairs Committee, • serving on the Foreign Affairs & International Trade Committee, • Honorary Colonel of the Air Force since August 1, 2009, and • attending Senate sittings in Ottawa.
She was also involved in non-Senate activities, such as: being a Board member for Porter Airlines, Oilsands Quest Inc. and Gluskin & Sheff, Prime Media Group, CTV Globemedia Inc., Jade Tower Inc., being Chancellor Emeritus of the University of Guelph, after serving as Chancellor from 2007 to 2011, and other non-for-profit and corporate advisory committees and boards.
In addition, we understand that Senator Wallin was a popular public speaker and regularly spoke at conferences and other events throughout Canada. Senator Wallin told us that she was not remunerated for these speaking engagements, except on one occasion when she first became a Senator. After that occasion, which she believed had been a pre-existing commitment, and speaking to the Senate Ethics Officer, she said that she was not remunerated for speaking engagements.
We therefore assessed her travel claims in the context of all of her identified activities. Our approach to this assessment is described below.

4.2 Approach to assessing the travel claims Senate travel policies and guidelines indicate that the purpose of travel must be indicated on each travel expense claim. Section 2.7 of the Senator’s Travel Policy indicates that the purpose of travel is a mandatory field; however, there may be situations where, for confidentiality purposes, Senators would not be able to provide details and would include a very brief description. Where details are not provided in the purpose of travel field, Senators are responsible for ensuring that they maintain all details in their office.
For most of Senator Wallin’s travel claims, the purpose of the travel was stated as “Senate Business”, in accordance with what we understand is the general practice in the Senate. For a limited number of travel claims there was additional narrative or supporting information around the purpose for travel in the documentation supporting the claim maintained by Senate Finance. If such information was insufficient for us to establish the purpose of the travel and the nature of the event(s) related to the travel, we obtained further information from the following sources:
• Senator Wallin and her current Executive Assistant (“EA”) Senator Wallin and her current EA undertook a review of the travel claims submitted together with a review of her activities during the Review Period. They provided us detailed descriptions of the various events that the Senator attended, together with supporting documentation for some of the identified events, and a calendar of events that was prepared for the purposes of our examination. We also interviewed the Senator and her EA on four occasions to obtain further clarification and information on the reasons for various claims.
• Microsoft Outlook calendars According to the EAs we interviewed, Senator Wallin and her EAs managed her busy schedule through her calendar, which was kept in Microsoft Outlook. We obtained three versions of Senator Wallin’s Microsoft Outlook calendars for the period of our review:
o From a back-up taken in December 2011 – period covered January 2009 to December 2011
o From a back-up taken in December 2012 – period covered January 2009 to December 2012
o From a back-up taken in June 2013 – period covered January 2009 to June 2013
• Research We conducted our own research, including internet searches and verification with third parties, to confirm the Senator’s attendance at, and the details of, certain of the events identified as the purpose of her travel.
In addition, on July 26, 2013, we were provided with Senator Wallin’s handwritten monthly calendars for the period from January 2009 to September 2012.
4.2.1 Conflicting Information and Microsoft Outlook calendar entries We identified two areas that impacted our approach and assessment, as described below:
• Conflicting information and Microsoft Outlook calendar entries, and • Travel between Ottawa and Toronto and Networking Activities.
In some cases, the information provided to us by Senator Wallin and her EA was inconsistent with the research that we undertook, and/or her Microsoft Outlook calendar as it existed at the time of the event (as evidenced by the Microsoft Outlook calendars we obtained from the back-ups taken by the Senate IT in December 2011 and December 2012). The following items set out examples of these inconsistencies.
© Deloitte LLP and affiliated entities. Review of Senator Wallin’s’ Travel Expense and Living Allowance Claims 16
1. Part of Travel Claim #05399 (signed and dated June 16, 2009) was for a flight from Ottawa to Toronto on June 4, 2009 arriving at Pearson airport at 9:05pm. The purpose indicated on the travel claim was “Senate Business” with no further details. The Senator indicated in material provided to us that she had spoken at the Institute of Corporate Directors (“ICD”) Fellowship Awards on June 4, 2009 in Toronto.
We confirmed with ICD that the Senator had in fact spoken at the Fellowship Awards in June 2008, and that Brian Tobin filled that role in June 2009. Publicity for the 2009 event that we identified through internet research indicated that it was scheduled to start at 5.30pm, with dinner at 7pm. We note that the itinerary/receipt filed by the Senator in support of this claim indicated her flight was scheduled to take-off at 8pm from Ottawa and land at Toronto Pearson at 9:05pm on June 4, 2009. The travel claim also included the Senator’s boarding pass for this flight which indicated boarding at 7:25pm. In addition, the travel claim included a Westend Car Service invoice indicating that Senator Wallin was driven on June 4, 2009 from “Airport to home” (based on the invoice, her destination would have been her address in mid-town Toronto.).
The Senator’s Microsoft Outlook calendar for June 4, 2009, as it currently exists (i.e. from the back-up taken in June 2013) contains the entry “12th Annual ICD Fellowship Awards” at 7:30pm, but no entry for the flight that the Senator took at 8pm. However, the 2009 Microsoft Outlook calendars that we obtained from the back-ups taken at December 2011 and December 2012, both contained an entry for the flight taken (at 8pm) but neither contained an entry at 7:30pm for the ICD awards. This indicates that the 2009 calendar was amended to add the ICD entry, and to delete the 8pm flight, sometime in 2013.
Senator Wallin has subsequently indicated that she was mistaken in the year that she spoke at the ICD Awards, but that she may have attended them later on in the evening on June 4, 2009. Her position on this, certain other events, and the reasons that changes were made in her Microsoft Outlook calendars are attached in a letter dated July 26, 2013 from her counsel to Deloitte (attached at Appendix E).
2. Part of Claim #13651 (signed and dated June 16, 2009) was for a flight from Ottawa to Toronto on June 8, 2009 (arriving at Toronto Pearson airport at 9:05pm), and for a flight from Toronto to Ottawa on June 9, 2009 (departing Toronto Pearson airport at 1:10pm). The purpose indicated on the travel claim was “Senate Business” with no further details. The Senator indicated in material provided to us that she had attended two meetings on June 9, 2009 that she regarded as Senate Business, one with an adviser to the World Bank, and one with an official of the New York City Marketing and Development Corporation.
Our internet research showed that Senator Wallin attended a convocation at the University of Guelph on the morning of June 9, 2009.
The Senator’s Microsoft Outlook calendar for June 9, 2009 as it currently exists (i.e. from the back-up taken in June 2013) contains an entry (with no time specified) for “meeting in a.m. with [XX] & [XX4]”, but no entry for the Guelph convocation. However, the 2009 Microsoft Outlook calendars that we obtained from the back-ups taken at December 2011 and December 2012, both contained the entry “UofGuelph: Summer Convocation (Christopher Plummer receiving award)” (at 9:30 am for 2 hours) but neither contained the entry for “meeting in a.m. with [XX] & [XX]”. This indicates that the 2009
4 For privacy considerations, we have not provided the actual names of the individuals that are reflected in the calendar entry

calendar was amended to add the meeting entry, and to delete the Guelph convocation entry, sometime in 2013.
Senator Wallin has subsequently indicated that she did attend the convocation, and now believes her meeting with the World Bank adviser was on a previous day, and the meeting with the New York City official was in fact a telephone call.
3. Part of Claim #13655 (signed and dated July 2, 2009) was for a flight from Ottawa to Toronto on June 18, 2009 (arriving at Toronto Billy Bishop airport at 7:30pm; the boarding pass indicated boarding at 6:10pm). In addition, the travel claim included a Westend Car Service invoice indicating that Senator Wallin was driven on June 18, 2009 from “Airport to home” (based on the invoice, her destination would have been mid-town Toronto.). The purpose indicated on the travel claim was “Senate Business” with no further details. The Senator indicated in material provided to us that she had attended the launch of the True Patriot Love Foundation and Tribute Dinner.
Our research confirmed that there was a launch of this event, in Toronto at 11:30am on June 18, 2009 and that the True Patriot Love Foundation and Tribute Dinner was to be held on November 10, 2009 in Toronto. The Senator is named as one of the Tribute Committee members.
The Senator’s Microsoft Outlook calendar for June 18, 2009 as it currently exists (i.e. from the back-up taken in June 2013) contains an entry for “True Patriot Love”. However, the 2009 Microsoft Outlook calendars that we obtained from the back-ups taken at December 2011 and December 2012, did not contain this entry. This indicates that the entry was made in the 2009 calendar sometime in 2013.
There was one entry in the 2009 calendar for the event that was present in all versions of the Microsoft Outlook calendar that we obtained:
“11:30am (30 minutes) (Regrets: Toronto) True Patriot Love - kick-off committee meeting & press conference - 66 Wellington St. W, 54th Fl.”
Based on the entry marked “Regrets”, and the time of the flight that the Senator took that day, it does not appear that she attended this launch. Senator Wallin subsequently agreed that she likely did not attend.
4. Part of Claim #5390 (signed and dated April 28, 2009) was for an event in Saskatoon on April 15, 2009. The Senator indicated in material provided to us that she had been a keynote speaker at a public event in Saskatoon that included representation from four Saskatoon ridings.
The Conservative Saskatoon-Wanuskewin Riding Association indicated:
“She [Senator Wallin] was the guest speaker at a $100.00 per plate dinner in Saskatoon. The event was put on by the four local EDAs. The EDAs did not pay for her flight out there, she was already in town and they adjusted date/time to fit her schedule.”
Senator Wallin’s Microsoft Outlook Calendars for June 15, 2009 (at 6pm for 3 hours ) indicated the following:
Saskatoon Event (4 riding fundraiser) - TCU Place (XX - cell: 306-xxx-xxxx///office: 306.xxx.xxxx) Source: Calendar Back-ups from December 2011 and 2012
Saskatoon Event - TCU Place (XX - cell: 306-xxx-xxxx///office: 306.xxx.xxxx) Source: Calendar Back-ups from June 2013
The wording “4 riding fundraiser” was removed from the entry subsequent to December 2012.

4.2.1.1 Changes made to Outlook Calendars Deloitte was provided with a non-forensic copy of Senator Wallin’s current (live) 2013 Microsoft Outlook calendar and non-forensic copies of her backed up (offline) 2011 and 2012 calendars. Without performing an analysis on a forensic copy of the calendars, we were limited in our ability to identify specifically what changes were made, when they were made and who made them, as specific metadata was affected in the process of creating the non-forensic copies (for example Creation Dates).
Deloitte performed a comparative analysis of the non-forensic copy of all three calendars, and as a result, the following observations of the differences between the live and offline calendars can be made.
1. 83 calendar entries were identified only residing in the Senator’s 2013 calendar which referred to calendar entries. These 83 entries referred to calendar entries (appointments etc.) predating April 26, 2011. As these entries did not exist in offline calendars, it appears they were made sometime in 2013. A last written date was indicated for 77 out of the 83 entries in February, April, May and June 2013.
2. 34 calendar entries were identified in the Senator’s 2013 live calendar which referred to calendar entries prior to October 28, 2011, where the subject lines of the calendar entries (appointments etc.) had been modified or changed from the entry that existed in the offline calendars.
3. 391 calendar entries appeared both in the 2011 and 2012 offline calendars, however were not
located in the Senator’s 2013 calendar. We were unable to determine the dates on which these items were deleted from the live calendar, as our analysis was not performed on a forensic image of the calendars. Many of the items that were deleted were in respect of calendar entries for Senator Wallin’s activities on various Boards of Directors.
4.2.1.2 Reasons for the changes Senator Wallin and her current EA, Renee Montpellier, informed us that they had made changes to the historical Microsoft Outlook calendars (adding some items and deleting others) in or around May 2013 as part of their process of pulling information together for our examination. They indicated that they did so in order to clarify what actually took place, and also to take out some irrelevant and personal information. Senator Wallin further indicated they had been informed by Senator Tkachuk of the results of the first period that Deloitte had reviewed (April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012), and that, as Senator Wallin and her EA had understood what would, and what would not, be considered as acceptable as Senate Business, they wanted to make the process as streamlined as possible for us, and so they had taken out certain non-Senate related events and added other events that the Senator had attended that would be considered Senate business.
Subsequently, after a meeting with Senator Wallin and her counsel, we were provided with a letter regarding these changes, which we attach as Appendix E. In addition, Senator Tkachuk was provided a copy of this letter for which he provided a response which is attached as Appendix F.
While we have considered all three Microsoft Outlook calendars, as a result of the changes noted above, we have used the calendars from the previous back-ups (which do not have adjustments made to them from 2013) as a guide to the Senator’s activities in the review period. Although events and flights do change, and all events on a particular day (as well as last minute changes) may not be reflected in the calendar, we have found the historical calendars (together with information from the travel claims, such as boarding passes for flights) to be useful in determining significant events and travel patterns, as they are the records that existed at the time of the relevant events. Many of the events that Senator Wallin has indicated took place but were not previously recorded in her Outlook calendars were “networking events” which are discussed below (see Schedule 1). In other cases, we have attempted to verify the event using third party confirmation or public information research.

4.2.2 Travel between Ottawa and Toronto and networking activities The Senator undertook a number of trips between Ottawa and Toronto (as well as, stopovers in Toronto on the way to/from Saskatchewan). For many of these trips, the Senator’s office indicated that:
” the events in question were with important contacts and about issues relevant to the government of the day and the impact of its policies on a wide variety of industries and individuals. In some case she was seeking advice and input from those long experienced in government and/or policy-making circles. And in many cases, the Senator was seeking feedback from those who are directly affected by government policy. While her areas of special interest were defence and foreign policy that does not exclude other matters - most fundamental, economics and economic policy. The input, the exchanges of information, the advice, the criticism, the ideas were all central to her forming her role and approach as a Senator. She wanted to be open, accessible and in touch with as many “communities of interest” as possible to ensure that she would be an activist and effective Senator.”
We provided a list (attached as Schedule 1) of such meetings for the period April 2009 to August 2011 to the Senate Steering Committee, together with Senator Wallin’s description as to the reasons for these meetings and their rationale as to Senate Business, for the Steering Committee’s interpretation as to whether or not they would qualify as “Senate Business” for the purpose of claiming travel expenses 5. The Steering Committee determined that, while occasional, exceptional occurrences for special events might be acceptable, the volume and pattern of the events listed would not qualify them as Senate business.
Subsequent to our provision of this list to the Steering Committee, we noted that many of these meetings were not originally in the Senator’s Microsoft Outlook calendar, but were subsequently added (as indicated on Schedule 1).
4.3 Assessment of Senate business and categorization of the travel claims The framework in which travel claims are to be made and assessed is set out in the SARs, Resource Guide, Travel Guidelines and Travel Policy which are discussed in Section 3 to this report. The Travel Policy, including Appendix A which provides examples of travel purposes that would and would not be funded by the Senate, was effective as of June 5, 2012. We understand this to have provided specific examples of the application of the existing policies, and have used this as a guide when assessing Senator Wallin’s travel claims throughout the period of our review.
Senator Wallin indicated to us that the June 5, 2012 Travel Policy (including Appendix A) represented a change in the policies, and that she believes it is inappropriate to apply the examples retroactively, as Appendix A changed the categorization of activities that had been previously regarded as Senate Business. For example, Senator Wallin indicated that she was asked to be a different kind of Senator – one who was more active in the community, representing the Senate - and that discussions with Senator Tkachuk early in her tenure regarding various roles she had (such as Chancellor of the University of Guelph) confirmed that travel expenses to such events would be eligible for reimbursement. In this regard, we note that we have not assessed or reviewed any travel expense claims by other Senators, and therefore cannot comment on whether activities such as those undertaken by Senator Wallin were or were not undertaken by other Senators, or whether or not, they were the subject of travel claims by other Senators.
As Senator Wallin undertook several events and/or activities on most of her trips, if one or more of those events or activities qualified as Senate Business, then all of the flight costs for the trip have been categorized as appropriate. If there were any expenses claimed that directly related to any non-Senate
5 At Senator Wallin’s request, although we were provided with the names of the individuals that she met with, we provided the Steering Committee with descriptions of the roles of the individuals rather than their names, to protect their privacy.

activities on the same trip (for example mileage or per diems), those costs have been identified as costs reimbursable to the Senate, but no apportionment of the flight costs for each trip has been made.
Having established the purpose of the travel, the various events attended and/or activities undertaken by Senator Wallin, and whether or not one or more events would be considered “Senate Business”, we then categorized each of Senator Wallin’s travel claims into the following three categories, as described in the sections that follow:
• Appropriate in Keeping with Senate practice, • Subject to reimbursement to the Receiver General, or • Subject to interpretation and determination by the Steering Committee of Internal Economy.
4.4 Travel claims that appear to be appropriate in keeping with Senate practice In determining whether the travel expense claim was appropriate in keeping with Senate practice, we considered elements from the SARs, the Travel Policy and Guidelines. The travel pattern was also examined to determine whether the most economical route was utilized based on the events that the Senator attended.
Based on our analysis and assessment, we determined that $390,182 of the travel claims during our review period appear to be appropriate in keeping with Senate practice.
4.5 Travel claims that are subject to repayment to the Receiver General Travel claims subject to reimbursement include two types of claims: (i) travel that is unrelated to Senate business, and (ii) travel which resulted in additional incremental costs to the Senate. In total, Deloitte has determined that $121,348 is Subject to Repayment to the Receiver General. Senator Wallin has already made repayment to the Senate for certain of these claims in the total amount of $38,369. A summary of the amounts determined by Deloitte as Subject to Repayment to the Receiver General together with the amounts repaid by Senator Wallin since November 20, 2012 to date is included in the following table.

4.5.1 Travel unrelated to Senate business
Attached as Schedule 2 is a summary of the claims that have been categorized as subject to reimbursement to the Receiver General as it has been determined that the travel and/or certain costs included in the travel claim were not for Senate Business. The amount related to non-Senate business from these claims totaled $90,323. These amounts from the travel claims have been so categorized, as they fell into one or more of the following6:
• travel claim was reimbursed by Senator Wallin as she deemed the claim was for personal business (see Section 4.5.3 below);
• travel claim was for private business commitments made prior to Senator Wallin’s appointment to the Senate (which she stated that she understood was to be covered by the Senate);
• travel claim included amounts related to returning to Ottawa from private business; • travel claim related to speaking or other events which were non-Senate related; and • travel claim related to fundraising and/or campaign related activity.
4.5.2 Travel incurring incremental costs to the Senate Schedule 3 to this report lists each travel claim that has been determined to be subject to reimbursement to the Receiver General because the way that the travel was undertaken caused additional incremental costs to be incurred by the Senate that were not in respect of Senate business.
In addition to flying directly between Ottawa and Saskatchewan (Regina or Saskatoon), Senator Wallin also took flights that changed in Toronto (with a layover of a few hours), and also regularly made stopovers in Toronto (of one or more days) while on her way to and from Saskatchewan. Between January 1, 2009 and September 30, 2012, the Senator made the following flights between Ottawa/Toronto and Saskatchewan that were charged to the Senate (Senator Wallin also travelled to/from Saskatchewan on certain occasions on flights that were paid for by other government and non-government organizations):
6 Note that because many of Senator Wallin’s travel claims cover more than one trip, and as she often undertook more than one activity on those trips, there was often more than one of the above reasons for categorizing the claims as subject to reimbursement to the Receiver General

Direction
Stopovers in Toronto of a day or more incurred additional costs to the Senate in comparison to direct or connecting flights, as the leg between Ottawa and Toronto was generally booked on a different ticket.
Senator Wallin explained that these stopovers were required as
• On the westbound journey, she wanted to avoid arriving late in Saskatchewan because it is a further two hour drive to Wadena, which can be problematic especially in winter.
• On the eastbound journey, she used the time at her apartment in Toronto to review materials for her Committee work, which took place in Ottawa the following day. We note that Senator Wallin frequently attended the following Committees (with their regular time slots noted) during the Review Period:
o National Security and Defence (74 of 83 meetings) Mondays 4-8 pm. o Foreign Affairs (86 of 135 meetings) Wednesdays 4-6 pm, Thursdays 10:30 am. – 12:30pm. o Veterans Affairs (49 of 63 meetings) Wednesdays 12 – 1:30 pm. o Anti-Terrorism (15 of 18 meetings) Mondays 1:30 - 3:30 pm.
• She noted that no per diems or living allowance claims for a private residence were claimed for these
stopovers.
In our analysis, we determined that such additional costs would appear to be appropriately charged to the Senate in the following situations:
• Where Senator Wallin had to be in Toronto during the stopover period to attend to Senate business; and/or

• Where the Senator was required to be in Ottawa or Saskatchewan for Senate business at such times of the day that a direct or connecting flight to/from Saskatchewan would not have been reasonable, given the approximately two hour drive that the Senator has to take once in Saskatchewan to reach Wadena.
In such cases, a stopover would be reasonable and incremental costs were not calculated.
We have quantified the additional incremental cost of such stopovers to the Senate as follows:
• The cost of the additional leg (to/from Toronto) • The cost of additional taxis while in Toronto • The cost of any additional per diems claimed
Less
• The difference in cost of the flight between Saskatchewan and Toronto and the flight between Saskatchewan and Ottawa (generally the flights to/from Toronto are around $100 cheaper)
• An estimate for a hotel cost for the stopover night. For some of the period (April 1, 2009 to June 27, 2011), the Senator claimed a secondary residence in the NCR, and so during that time period, we have not included any estimate for a hotel cost, as the Senate was already bearing the cost of an allowance for a secondary residence in the NCR that could have been used for such stopovers. Senator Wallin did not claim any overnight allowance for accommodation costs while she was in Toronto on such stopovers.
An example of an incremental cost calculation (for travel between Saskatoon and Ottawa via Toronto on January 31 and February 1, 2011) is as follows:
© Deloitte LLP and affiliated entities. Review of Senator Wallin’s’ Travel Expense and Living Allowance Claims 24
Table 5: Example incremental cost calculation
In total, we estimate that Senator Wallin claimed and was reimbursed a total of $31,025 in respect of incremental costs (principally flight costs) related to stopovers in Toronto during the review period, based on her known schedule.
4.5.3 Repayments made by Senator Wallin During the period November 20, 2012 to June 26, 2013, Senator Wallin repaid $38,369 to the Receiver General related to travel claims during the review period as set out in Schedule 2 to this report. For most of these reimbursements, the Senator’s office indicated that they were due to administrative errors. Many of these repayments related to personal travel, including travel for various Boards of Directors of which Senator Wallin was a member.
4.5.3.1 Expense claim processes in Senator Wallin’s Office We understand from interviews with Senator Wallin and her current and former EAs that it was their role to prepare travel claims for the Senator. While the specific process for each EA may have varied, we understand that the following process was generally followed by the EAs during the Review Period:
1. We understand that Senator Wallin’s EAs were responsible for coordinating and booking her travel (flights, hotels, rental cars, etc.), and updating her Microsoft Outlook calendar with the details of the events and the related travel arrangements.
2. Senator Wallin provided the receipts, boarding passes, and other supporting documents to the EA upon returning from her travel. During interviews, EAs represented to us that the supporting documentation was usually delivered to them promptly upon the Senator returning from each trip.
© Deloitte LLP and affiliated entities. Review of Senator Wallin’s’ Travel Expense and Living Allowance Claims 25
3. The EA would prepare the Travel Expense Claim to be submitted to Senate Finance. This
included preparation of invoices for a Toronto based car service that was frequently used by the Senator while in Toronto. We understand that that the car service provided monthly invoices which detailed each trip, not all of which were Senate related. The EAs told us that, because Senate Finance required each trip to be claimed with separate support (i.e. not a monthly invoice), the line items from the original car service invoice that related to Senate travel were summarized, and the EAs prepared a new invoice for each expense claim that only contained those items relevant to the claim. This newly created invoice was included in the Travel Expense Claim as supporting documentation for the travel. While we have not reviewed the original monthly invoices from the car service to ensure that the individual trips were correctly extracted by the EAs, all of the EAs who described this process indicated that no alterations to the original amounts for each trip were made.
4. Senator Wallin would sign the Travel Expense Claim forms, which would then be submitted to Senate Finance for reimbursement.
5. The EA would maintain a file in the Senator’s office that included the purpose of the travel, expense receipts, boarding passes and other supporting documentation.
4.6 Claims that are Subject to interpretation and determination by the Steering Committee of Internal Economy
Travel claims subject to interpretation and determination by the Steering Committee of Internal Economy include two types of claims: (i) travel that is related to “networking events”, and (ii) other events, including speeches. In total, Deloitte has determined that $20,978 is Subject to interpretation and determination by the Steering Committee (See Schedule 4 for a detail listing). As discussed in Section 4.2.2 to this report, the Steering Committee has reviewed the “networking events” and has determined that, while occasional, exceptional occurrences for special events might be acceptable, the volume and pattern of the events listed would not qualify them as Senate business.

5. Living allowances
5.1 Background and framework for residency and allowances Senator Wallin represents Saskatchewan. Throughout the Review Period, Senator Wallin declared a primary residence located in Wadena, Saskatchewan.
Senators, whose “primary residence” is located more than 100 kilometres from the NCR, are entitled to a reimbursement of travel expenses, and a reimbursement of living expenses, while in the NCR for Senate business.
We have previously reported on our analysis of similar living allowance claims for Senators Brazeau, Duffy and Harb. For reference, we have repeated our review of the applicable guidelines and framework for assessing such claims in Appendix D. We found that there is a lack of clarity in the terminology used for the different residences mentioned or discussed in in the applicable regulations and guidelines.
5.2 Declarations and claims made by Senator Wallin The following declarations were made by Senator Wallin regarding her primary and secondary residences during the Review Period:
Table 6: Summary of Senator Wallin’s primary and secondary residence declarations7

The detailed location information was included in the declaration forms. 8 Prior to the 2010/2011 fiscal year, the form used by the Senate did not require specific information regarding the primary residence.

Senator Wallin owned a property in Ottawa from April 2009 to June 2011. In September 2011, Senator Wallin updated her primary residence declaration for the 2011/2012 fiscal year by providing two updated declarations. The first declaration provided an end date of June 25, 2011 for the declared Ottawa property. The second declaration indicated that starting on June 26, 2011, Senator Wallin no longer owned (or rented) a secondary residence in the NCR.
The following claims for reimbursement of accommodation (private and commercial) and per diems were made, in respect of living allowances in the NCR were made during the period of our examination:

Total $6,553 $14,316 $12,080 $14,170 $4,980 $52,099
Senator Wallin’s expense claims related to living allowances in the NCR consist of claims for private accommodation in the NCR from April 2009 to June 2011 (for having a property she owned in Ottawa available for her in Ottawa to undertake Senate business), stays in commercial accommodation (hotels) from January 2009 to March 2009 and from July 2011 to September 2012, plus per diem amounts related to meals and incidentals.
5.3 Considerations of primary residency The only definition of primary residency in the material we reviewed is found in the Senators’ Travel Policy which came into force on June 5, 2012. It is defined therein as:
© Deloitte LLP and affiliated entities. Review of Senator Wallin’s’ Travel Expense and Living Allowance Claims 28
“the residence identified by the senator as his/her main residence and is situated in the province or territory represented by the senator”
As previously mentioned, the regulations and guidelines applicable during the period of our examination do not include criteria for determining “primary residence”. In order to establish primary residence for all Senators, in December 2012 the Standing Committee of Internal Economy requested that Senators submit the following information:
1. Copy of driver’s license, 2. Copy of provincial health card, 3. Relevant information from personal income tax return providing provincial tax information, and 4. A signed statement indicating where they vote.
5.3.1 Senator Wallin’s primary residence “indicators” We have reviewed copies of the information provided by Senator Wallin in January 2013, which we have summarized in the following table.
Table 8: Senator Wallin’s primary residence “indicators”
Indicator Indicator Met / Not Met
Driver’s license Met
Provincial Health Card Not met – not address of declared primary residence
Income Tax Return Not met – not address of declared primary residence
Signed Statement re: voting
Insufficient information provided to determine whether Senator Wallin is
registered to vote in the same area as declared primary residence
Senator Wallin has not met two (2) of the four (4) indicators used by the Standing Committee of Internal Economy to determine whether Senators have met the primary residence test.
5.3.2 Senator Wallin’s location In addition to the primary residence “indicators”, we have collected and reviewed other information which could help in the determination of the location of Senator Wallin’s primary residence. The information was reviewed in order to establish where Senator Wallin was located during the period of our examination, consisting of the 1,369 days from January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2012.
5.3.2.1 Documents relied upon
Senate Attendance Register
The Senate Attendance Register provided a list of days when the Senate was sitting, the attendance record of Senator Wallin for Senate business and public business, as well as the days when Senator Wallin attended Senate committee meetings.
© Deloitte LLP and affiliated entities. Review of Senator Wallin’s’ Travel Expense and Living Allowance Claims 29
Travel Claims
Senator Wallin’s travel claims were reviewed as they provide information, such as boarding passes, itineraries and the days for which per diem amounts were claimed by Senator Wallin for Senate business while in Ottawa.
Cellular Telephone
Cellular telephone invoices were received for the period of our examination. These records provide information as to the location, date and time of specific telephone calls made or received, providing insight as to the location of Senator Wallin.
Credit Card Statements
Credit card statements were provided by the Senate for the corporate Amex credit card used by Senator Wallin for Senate related travel. In addition, Senator Wallin provided copies of monthly statements for another credit card. These records provide information as to the location and date of specific transactions, providing insight at to the location of Senator Wallin.
5.3.2.2 Location confirmed, likely or unconfirmed
For each of the 1,369 days in the period under examination, based on the available information, we also assessed whether the location determination was confirmed, likely, or unconfirmed as set out below.
Table 9: Status of location assessment
Number of Days
Confirmed 1,278
Likely 84
Unconfirmed 7
Total 1,369
Location confirmed (1,278 days, 93%)
An assessment as confirmed was based on third party information (i.e. a telephone call made or received, or credit card transactions and supporting documentation indicating the location of Senator Wallin on a specific day).
Location likely (84 days, 6%)
Senator Wallin’s location was identified as likely when the information reviewed appeared to reasonably place her in a specific location, but that no third party information (i.e. telephone call or credit card transaction) can support this assessment.
Location unconfirmed (7 days, 1%)
Senator Wallin’s location was identified as unconfirmed for days where we have not received any documentation that would support her location.
In summary, we have Senator Wallin’s location either confirmed or considered likely for 99% of the period under examination, and therefore we are confident that our analysis is an accurate picture of Senator Wallin’s travel patterns and location during the period.

5.3.2.3 Summary of Senator Wallin’s location and travel patterns
Based on all of the information available, we prepared summaries of the locational indicators from January 2009 to September 2012. This information enabled us to perform a determination of Senator Wallin’s location on a daily basis at the end of each day. .
Table 10: Summary of Senator Wallin’s location
End of Day Location of Senator Wallin Total
# of Days %
Ottawa Senate Business 298 22%
Other locations – Senate Business (Excludes Toronto and Saskatchewan 88 6%
Total Identified Senate Business (excluding Toronto and Saskatchewan) 386 28%
Toronto 478 35%
Declared Primary Residence – Saskatchewan (plus 1 identified day trip) 368 27%
Other locations – Non Senate Business 126 9%
Ottawa – Non Senate Business 4 0%
Unknown 7 1%
Total 1,369 100%
Toronto
The most common location where Senator Wallin was located was in Toronto, where she maintains a residence, representing 478 of the 1,369 days (35%). We note that some of the time spent in Toronto was for Senate Business, however, this has not been quantified in the above table as certain events require interpretation by the Steering Committee.
Declared Primary Residence
The next most common location where Senator Wallin was located was in Saskatchewan, either at her declared primary residence (Wadena, SK) or elsewhere in Saskatchewan, for 368 of the 1,369 days (27%) during the period of our examination.
Ottawa
Based on our analysis, we estimate that Senator Wallin was in Ottawa for 302 of the 1,369 days during the period of our examination (approximately 22% of the period under examination) of which 298 days were for documented Senate business, 3 days were in Ottawa over a week-end between two Senate sitting weeks, and 1 other day was in Ottawa, the nature of which is unknown. Based on this analysis, for 99% of the time (298 out of 302 days) Senate Wallin was present in Ottawa, it was to attend Senate business. This includes the period of April 2009 to June 2011 during which she owned an Ottawa property (and declared it as her NCR residence).
© Deloitte LLP and affiliated entities. Review of Senator Wallin’s’ Travel Expense and Living Allowance Claims 31
Other Locations
Senator Wallin was located outside of the Ottawa, Toronto and Saskatchewan areas for 214 days. This included Senate business for 88 days (6%) and non-Senate business for 126 days (9%).
Unknown
We have not been able to determine a location for seven (7) days.
5.4 Assessment of Senator Wallin’s living allowance in the NCR Claims We have reviewed Senator Wallin’s claims related to living allowance while in the NCR. At different times, she claimed:
• Per diems • Commercial Accommodation (January 2009 to March 2009 and July 2011 to September 2012) • Private Accommodation (April 2009 to June 2011)
Overall, we have confirmed that Senator Wallin was in Ottawa for the days per diems and reimbursement for commercial accommodation were claimed. Senator Wallin’s location is supported by boarding passes and other supporting documents related to travel expenditures, in addition to her location being confirmed by the telephone and credit card records.
During the Review Period we have assessed that Senator Wallin spent 302 nights in Ottawa, 298 of which were for Senate business. Senator Wallin did not spend a significant amount of time in Ottawa for non Senate business (4 days during the period, 3 of which were over a week-end between two Senate sitting weeks). The regulations and guidelines applicable during the period of our examination do not include criteria for determining “primary residence”. As such, we are not able to assess the status of the primary residence declared by Senator Wallin against existing regulations and guidelines. However, given the travel pattern that we did identify, the fact that the Senator did not maintain a residence in Ottawa for nineteen months of the forty-five month review period, and as Senator Wallin was rarely in Ottawa for non-Senate business, we conclude that her primary residence was more than 100km from the NCR. As such, the NCR living allowances claimed by Senator Wallin appear to be appropriate in keeping with Senate practice.

Proof of ownership is defined as a municipal tax statement. Other documents will need to be reviewed by the Law Clerk’s office.”
Meals and Incidental Expenses
“16.(1) A Senator on travel status in the National Capital Region is entitled to claim an allowance for meal and incidental expenses incurred by the Senator, in the amount or amounts set by finance rule.
Same as identified above. “2.11.4 Meals and Incidentals
2.11.4.1 Meal and incidental expenses shall be reimbursed on the basis of allowance rates established by the Committee.
Note – The amended Chapter 4:02.16 of the SARs that came into effect on June 5, 2012 is entitled Travel Policy does not set out specific travel policies; however, states “The Committee shall adopt a policy that establishes the principles, rules, practices, roles and responsibilities governing the use of Senate resources for travel purposes.”

Appendix D – Framework and guidelines related to Senators’ residency and living allowances
1.1. Constitution of Canada Acts 1867 to 1982 Under the Constitution (S.23), there are various qualifications to be a Senator, including:
…
(3) He shall be legally or equitably seised as of Freehold for his own Use and Benefit of Lands or Tenements held in Free and Common Socage, or seised or possessed for his own Use and Benefit of Lands or Tenements held in Franc-alleu or in Roture, within the Province for which he is appointed, of the Value of Four thousand Dollars, over and above all Rents, Dues, Debts, Charges, Mortgages, and Incumbrances due or payable out of or charged on or affecting the same;
…
(5) He shall be resident in the Province for which he is appointed;
(6) In the Case of Quebec he shall have his Real Property Qualification in the Electoral Division for which he is appointed, or shall be resident in that Division.
No definition of residency for S.23 (5) is provided, although we note that since there is a separate requirement to hold property in the province (S.23 (3)), a qualification of residency must mean more than simply owning or renting a property in the province. Deloitte was not asked to review the requirement to hold property in the province.
Recognizing that Senators are required to be in Ottawa at various points throughout the year to conduct Senate business, provision has historically been made for Senators’ expenses in Ottawa to be paid for by the Senate, in certain circumstances.
1.2. Period of examination and relevant framework of residency and allowances
Our examination encompasses a period from January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2012. The various expense reimbursements and allowances to which Senators are entitled are paid in accordance with the Senate Administrative Rules (“SARs”).
1.2.1. Senate administrative rules and other guidelines on allowances We have been provided with, and reviewed, three versions of the SARs, the first version being in force from June 21, 2007 to June 15, 2009, the second version being in force from June 16, 2009 to June 4, 2012, and the third version being in force since June 5, 2012.
Both versions of the SARs include the following preface:
The Senate Administrative Rules govern Senate administrative practice. They complement and are of equal authority to the Rules of the Senate, which govern Senate procedure. In the interests of good governance, the administrative rules codify comprehensively the fundamental principles and rules governing the internal administration of the Senate and its allocation and use of resources.
The Senate Administrative Rules are subject to statute law that applies to the Senate. Of particular note are the Constitution Acts, 1867 and 1982, the Parliament of Canada Act, the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act and the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act.
The Senate Administrative Rules are supplemented by policies, guidelines, opinion, directives, forms and practices adopted or implemented by the Senate, the Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration and the Clerk of the Senate.
The Internal Economy Committee is responsible for the administration of the Senate Administrative Rules and for giving guidance on their interpretation to Senators and the Senate Administration.
Effective June 5, 2012, the Senators’ Travel Policy was introduced, which effectively replaced the previous SARs Section 4:03 Travel Entitlements and Expenses.
In addition, further information about the entitlements is found in:
• Senators’ Travel Guidelines (revised November 26, 2009), • Senators’ Living Expenses in the NCR Guidelines (revised April 1, 2007, November 25,
2009 and June 17, 2010), and • Senators’ Resource Guide Section IV Travel (revised November 30, 2010).
1.2.1.1 Context Chapter 4.03 – Travel Entitlements and Expenses of the SARs included the following regarding allowed costs:
10. No person shall cause the Senate to pay or reimburse a cost under this chapter unless the cost was actually incurred, reasonable and authorized, and is either an allowance or is supported by a receipt or other documentation.
The Travel Policy (effective June 5, 2012) provides context that is useful to repeat here:
2.1.1 This policy recognizes that travel is a necessary component of senators’ parliamentary functions. Parliamentary functions are typically carried out in Ottawa and senators must travel to and from their primary residences in order to attend Senate sittings and committee meetings. Parliamentary functions are also carried out in senators’ regions and, from time-to-time, senators may be required to travel to other locations, both within Canada and internationally, in the service of the Senate.
2.1.2 This policy also recognizes that a senator’s parliamentary functions can result in frequent and lengthy periods of separation from family. In that context, the policy
provides for family-reunion travel as an important contributor to the health and well-being of senators and their families.
2.1.3 However, spending public funds on travel is a sensitive matter and sound judgement must be exercised when travel-related decisions are made. It is expected that decisions to incur travel expenditures will be made with due regard to the need, frequency, cost, and purpose as it relates to a senator’s parliamentary functions.
1.2.2. Eligibility for allowances The various sources of residency requirements and the frameworks within which declarations and related expense claims can be made are discussed below.

A Senator whose provincial residence in the province or territory the Senator represents is more than 100 kilometres from Parliament Hill, and who is within 100 kilometres of Parliament Hill for the purpose of carrying out the Senator’s parliamentary functions is on travel status in the National Capital Region in the NCR and are entitled to be reimbursed for living expenses in the NCR under this entitlement.
Travellers shall be considered to be on travel status when they are undertaking Senate-related travel that takes them at least 100 km away from their primary residence. In such cases, travel expenses are charged to the 64-point travel system.
Living Expenses in the NCR
Senators’ Resource Guide IV Travel s2.8
Senators who come to Ottawa to carry out their parliamentary functions and who are more than 100 kilometres from their primary residence when in Ottawa are on travel status in the NCR and are entitled to be reimbursed for living expenses in the NCR. Only senators may claim under this entitlement.
Eligibility and Primary Residence Declaration
Senators’ Living Expenses in the NCR Guidelines
(similar provision included in Senators’ Resource Guide
In order to claim living expenses in the National Capital Region (area within 100 kilometres of Parliament Hill), a senator must file with the Clerk, and keep up to date, a declaration designating a primary residence in the province or territory represented by the senator. Senators who come to Ottawa to carry out their parliamentary functions, and who are more than 100 kilometres from their
In order to claim living expenses in the NCR, a senator shall file, on an annual basis, a Declaration of Primary and Secondary Residences as well as the required documentation. Senators are responsible to notify immediately the Finance Division of any changes in the status of their residences and to amend the declaration accordingly.

Living Expenses in the NCR

Senators’ Travel Policy 2.11
A Senator on travel status in the National Capital Region is entitled to claim the following in respect of accommodation expenses: (a) reimbursement for the receipted cost of hotel or other commercial accommodation incurred by the Senator, up to the maximum daily amount set by finance rule; (b) reimbursement for the receipted cost of rented or leased accommodation incurred by the Senator; or (c) an allowance in respect of private accommodation used by the Senator in an amount set by finance rule.
Senators who are more than 100 kilometres from their primary residence when they come to the NCR to carry out their parliamentary functions are on travel status and shall be reimbursed for living expenses. The total reimbursement per fiscal year shall not exceed the maximum established by the Committee. Given the frequent and relatively long-term nature of senators’ visits to the NCR, the provisions for living expenses differ somewhat from those allowed under other travel circumstances. Furthermore, living expenses incurred in the NCR are funded from a separate budget set aside for this purpose and are therefore exempt from the point system.
Note 1 – There were no changes to the above referenced SARs chapters between the June 21, 2007 version and the June 16, 2009 version.
1.2.3. Allowed costs (mileage, accommodation, per diem) The costs allowed during the period of our review were as follows:
1.2.3.1 Mileage The Travel Guidelines and the Travel Policy provide that, when the mode of transportation is by automobile, a claim for distance travelled shall be calculated at 55 cents per kilometre. This rate remained constant throughout the period of our review

The daily rate for Private Accommodation in the NCR during the period of our examination was initially $28.00, which was increased on December 15, 2011 to $29.28. The daily rate for meals and incidental expenses was equal to the rate approved by the Treasury Board Secretariat, ranging from $81.55 to $88.60 during the period of our examination.
1.2.3.3 Living allowance maximum The Senators’ Living Expenses in the NCR Guidelines provided that a maximum reimbursement amount was set as follows:
The maximum total amount that can be reimbursed to each senator for the fiscal year under these guidelines is $20,000. Expenditures above this limit may however be charged to the Miscellaneous Expenditures Account portion of the Senator’s Research and Office Expense Budget.
The Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration Records of Decisions provides confirmation that expenditures could be allowed to exceed the $20,000 per annum limit, and any such amount, to a maximum of $5,000 per annum, would be charged to the “Miscellaneous Expenditures Account” portion of the Senators’ Research and Office Expense Budget, resulting in a maximum reimbursement amount of $25,000 per annum. The June 5, 2012 Travel Policy provides for the maximum reimbursement amount at $22,000 per annum effective April 1, 2012. We have assumed therefore that the previous $20,000 maximum was applicable to the whole of our examination period.
