Senate Staff: Senator Don Plett

Senator Don Plett: Senator Don Plett told HuffPost he hopes the Senate will adopt clearer rules so senators aren't unfairly forced to pay back thousands of dollars worth of expenses that Senate staff have already approved. In a candid conversation, Plett said he's spent money prudently, tried to record everything and hopes there aren't any improper claims, according to Huffington Post. Plett is among several Conservative senators who told HuffPost they hope the Senate enacts changes this fall. The proposed reforms could include making the chamber more transparent, sending a tough message to senators who break the rules and ensuring the rules are clear for everybody and OTTAWA A Conservative senator says it's possible a review of his expenses by the auditor general could turn up a few genuine errors in his own spending. "But it is only realistic to think that over the years some senators, like some of our colleagues in the House of Commons, have made some minor mistakes. Honest mistakes, but mistakes," he said.
