But Harper is sticking to the account he has given for the last week, saying he knew nothing of a payment from his former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to Sen. Mike Duffy until after the fact.
Harper is promising full co-operation with any investigations.
Ethics officers are looking into the scandal and the Senate has voted to send the question of Duffy’s expenses to the RCMP.
