Roy Green and Michelle Simson discuss the Jane Philpott 'Limo' Expense Scandal

Health Minister Jane Philpott is facing accusations that she misled the House of Commons by failing to disclose controversial limousine travel she charged to taxpayers earlier this year.

In a response to a question placed on the order paper by Conservative MP Dan Albas about the use of limousines, Philpott's department supplied an answer, signed by the minister, categorically denying any of the luxury vehicles were rented.

"With regard to government travel, for the period of Nov. 3, 2015, to April 22, 2016, the minister of health did not use rented limousines while on official business, within Canada or elsewhere," the department wrote in its answer tabled in the House of Commons in June.

However, Philpott has found herself in the opposition crosshairs this week after it was revealed that she charged taxpayers $1,700 for transportation around the Greater Toronto Area on March 31, using a limousine service owned by someone who campaigned for her in the federal election.

Michelle Simson, former Liberal MP and seatmate to Justin Trudeau, shares her own "limo" in Toronto experience. The Liberal Party desperately tried to persuade, bribe and then bully her into not posting her MP expense spending online. No other political party or MPs came to her assistance.
