Senators voted to suspend Patrick Brazeau, Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin for allegedly claiming improper living and travel expenses. Senator Wallin was emotional after the vote, and questioned the process. (The vote marked the end of a protracted and politically damaging debate. The trio maintained they were the victims of a witch hunt aimed at putting a lid on a Senate expenses scandal that had engulfed the Prime Minister's Office. All three were also under investigation by the RCMP for making allegedly fraudulent expense claims.)
