I could be wrong, but I believe the basic thinking is "falsifying of government documents" angle.

But I'd also imagine booking seats for a non-existent Pierre Poutine would be a more serious matter than booking a seat for a real staffer and then removing them from the documents as was suggested. So depending on the nature of the "phantom passengers" could determine if there's a criminal angle here.
