Mulcair asked Harper, for a second day in a row, about the second cheque that Senator Duffy said was given to him by Nigel Wright, Harper's former chief of staff, to help him pay his legal fees.

The prime minister then turned to Mulcair and asked the NDP leader about "his party" repaying his legal expenses to the tune of $100,000 in a libel case.

"How many members of the NDP are aware that this party leader not only claims expenses for court cases he loses, but also expects his political party to actually pay for him the damages imposed by a court of law?" Harper asked.

Conservatives who emerged from caucus on Wednesday said it was the Liberals who were stalling the motion to suspend the three senators without pay, but Liberal deputy leader Ralph Goodale said it was the fault of the Conservatives.

"That is 100 per cent the responsibility of the Conservative leader in the Senate and the people in the Prime Minister's Office that are pulling their strings," Goodale said.​

Meanwhile in Justin's world.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was in Alberta, and not in question period on Wednesday, where he gave a speech to the Calgary Petroleum Club.
