The Liberal Party of Canada says it will pay the Speaker's office $500 in rent for the use of the prime minister's Parliament Hill office to film a fundraising video with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The party also said it would offer to return any donations made to the party that were a direct result of the video. ​According to House of Commons rules, politicians cannot use parliamentary premises for partisan purposes, such as fundraising. But last month, the Liberal Party used Trudeau's Centre Block office as the backdrop for a fundraising video that asked supporters to make donations to the party. Ishmael goes on to say that the Conservative Party has used the parliamentary precinct in fundraising videos on several occasions.
