MONTREAL — Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau helped keep the issue of how the Prime Minister’s Office handled Sen. Mike Duffy’s expenses scandal in the public eye on Sunday, announcing he was sending an open letter to Stephen Harper asking him for more answers.

Harper has refused to provide straight answers about the repayment of Duffy’s expenses and who in the PMO knew that former chief of staff Nigel Wright made a $90,000 payment on Duffy’s behalf, Trudeau told reporters in Montreal, where he was taking part in the city’s Pride parade.

“There are questions about the inconsistencies in his own stories, his own contradictory statements, there are inconsistencies in what ministers of the Crown have been told to say to Parliament,” Trudeau said.

In the letter, Trudeau asked Harper who exactly knew about the payment and whether he had spoken to Wright since he left the Prime Minister’s Office in 2013.
