OTTAWA — The Senate is still trying to recoup tens of thousands of dollars in questionable travel and living expenses.
Newly released government spending documents show the Senate is still owed $45,940.
The Public Accounts of Canada also show the amount of the original loss — $314,758 — has been increased by $141,408, bringing it to $456,166.
Three senators — former Conservatives Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau and Pamela Wallin — were suspended from the Senate last November over expense claims.
Liberal Mac Harb resigned from the Senate in August 2013 after paying back $231,000 for ineligible housing and travel expenses.
Brazeau's wages were garnisheed before his suspension when he refused to repay more than $48,000.
Wallin had to reimburse $138,970, while Duffy's $90,000 tab was covered by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's former chief of staff, Nigel Wright.
