An RCMP investigator revealed that the rural Ontario house nominated as primary residence by Senator Mac Harb, in order to fraudulently claim living expenses from senate, is “largely uninhabitable” since almost last three years because of demolition and renovation, while additionally it is believed that only 0.01 per cent of the house was owned by Harb.

A sworn RCMP affidavit made public on Thursday proved that the Mounties are indeed actively investigating the senator for accusation of breach of trust in regards to the travel and expense claims submitted by him in almost past 10 years between 2003 and 2013. The information collected by the RCMP was passed on to an Ontario judge in order to acquire documents and data from the Senate on Mr. Harb’s travel and expense submissions during the time that he claimed a home in Cobden, Ont., and then later, one in Westmeath, Ont., as his primary residence.

In the affidavit, RCMP Corporal Greg Horton writes that “while he has owned homes in both Cobden and Westmeath, the investigation has shown that neither of those homes was his primary residence.” He claims that “I believe he resides primarily in the [National Capital Region] and as such is not entitled to collect a housing allowance claiming that residence as ‘secondary.’ ” The RCMP officer unambiguously mentioned in his affidavit that he thinks “by all accounts, that house was largely uninhabitable for the first three years that he owned it due to demolition and reconstruction.”
