OTTAWA – A letter the RCMP is seeking from a former aide to Senator Pamela Wallin makes scathing allegations about the embattled senator’s spending habits and professional conduct.

The August 2012 letter from former aide Alison Stodin is part of a long list of documents the RCMP is seeking as part of its investigation into the ongoing Senate spending affair. Stodin allegedly sent the letter about Wallin to Sen. Carolyn Stewart Olsen, at the time a member of the Senate’s standing committee on internal economy.

In it, CTV reports, Stodin raised several concerns about Wallin’s spending and alleges the senator was vitriolic when unhappy with Stodin’s performance. “I have never been subjected to the kind of treatment and disrespect I received from Senator Wallin,” CTV quoted Stodin as stating in the letter. “This involved harassing me personally, screaming at me and threatening me.”

CTV also cited sources saying Wallin’s expense claims were so perplexing that Stodin and Senate auditors had to go through them together.
