Ms. Lisa MacLeod: My question is to the Minister of Innovation. Last October, you were in Quebec City at the same time you became embroiled in a controversy over messages you posted on Twitter about our leader. But when you got back, you didn't post your flight or hotel expenses for that trip. Did you just walk it off?

Hon. Glen R. Murray: No. This is a ministry that has contributed to growing 2,800 jobs, leading to one of the four largest clean tech companies. I travel on a very limited basis, and our ministry has met and exceeded every budget target it's been given by the government.

Finally, all-

Mr. Jeff Leal: How about that deputy mayor of Ottawa joining us?

The Speaker (Hon. Steve Peters): Stop the clock. Member from Peterborough, please come to order.

Please continue.

Hon. Glen R. Murray: All of my expenses have been submitted to the Integrity Commissioner. We've kept it up on an ongoing basis, and we're very proud of that. If the member ever wants to write me or request that directly, I'm quite happy to help her out with that.

I'm also really impressed by the opposition research-half-competent. I was chair of an agency, which the honourable Leader of the Opposition-I had one of the lowest per capita travel expenses ever. I travelled economy and I had a green footprint a fraction of what any other-

The Speaker (Hon. Steve Peters): Thank you. Supplementary?

Ms. Lisa MacLeod: When he stops talking, I'll start again.

The minister hasn't posted a single expense since last April. The minister, of course, has a rich history of running up expenses and having Ontario families and others pay the bill.

The Premier's announcement in September 2009 was before you came to this place, so I'm going to go through it again. The Premier at that time said, "From now on expenses will be posted so families can know who exactly spent what exactly."

Why haven't you posted your expenses? Share with us.

Hon. Glen R. Murray: These folks are amazingly entertaining. All of my expenses have been sent through to the integrity process and are going through the process. They may not have noticed that I'm the newest member of cabinet. I'm quite happy any time-but let's look at our friends over there. How was Las Vegas? Viva Las Vegas. While Minister of Northern Development and Mines Tim Hudak spent your tax dollars on a conference in Las Vegas with a vice-presidential candidate, Dick Cheney; Tourism Minister Tim Hudak also went on a province-wide junket in the summer of 2001 with his staff, and racked up over $23,000 of expenses.

I have to admit, they have a lot to learn about managing expenses. Again, they don't like to compare my record to any of the Tory appointments in Ottawa. They're silent on that. They rack up expenses like
