Penashue to explain himself, eventually

Peter Penashue emerged from the House after QP this afternoon to comment on the questions about his election campaign. Or at least to say that he will be commenting next week.

I will be explaining my situation and I think it’s very important that I speak with my constituents … we have an official agent reviewing the file and hopefully we’ll be in a better position by then. But I want to speak with my constituents and I think it’s very important that I do that … There’s lots going on and I want to speak with my constituents and explain what happened during the election and I think once they hear the explanation I think they will be in a better position to understand how things unfolded. But, in the meantime … once this week is over, I’ll be flying to Labrador and I want to speak with my constituents.
