Right now, to me it appears that Leslie followed the rules and exploited the system in place.
I think the whole strategy of why are the conservatives such big meanies employed by the Liberals is pretty weak.
This isn't attacking a hard luck veteran suffering from injuries or PTSD, this is a very successful Military officer who retired and went into politics and almost instantly put in a claim for $72,000.00 it does bear disclosure.

I don't disagree.
When I moved from BC to Ontario, I think the total expenses were less than $4,000 (no realtor fees like that though). When I submitted my taxes and tried to claim it, they audited me. Everything turned out fine in the end, but it was a pain at the time. They let me get away with a few things that I didn't think they would. We stayed at one really pricey hotel for a night and then chose to spend a few days in one spot to visit friends, and they let me include those expenses.
$72,000 really does sound like a lot to me, without knowing exactly how it breaks down.
