   How many native members of Parliament or Senate have been demoted, asked to   
   resign, or criminally charged with offences?     
      
   Seems that no matter how well it all looks at the time of their appointments -   
   and how much fanfare and praise is given to those appointments - they end in   
   disgrace.

   BC to Ottawa on taxpayer dollars?

   New Speaker says he'll evict Wilson-Raybould if she doesn't leave willingly   
      
   After Independent MP asks to keep 1 of her 2 ministerial offices, Speaker   
   Anthony Rota says he'll intervene   
      
   If it comes down to it, newly elected House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota   
   says he will evict Jody Wilson-Raybould, the Independent MP currently locked   
   in a dispute over office space with her former party.   
      
   "I mean, obviously we have a process in place, there's a tradition in place,"   
   he said in a recent interview with Power and Politics host Vassy Kapelos.   
   "Eventually, yeah, if she doesn't [vacate], it'll be someone from my office   
   who has to enforce the    
   rules so that Parliament can function."   
      
   The timeline is "malleable at this point. We're working on it," he said.   
      
   Parliamentary offices are re-assigned after every election; the Speaker's   
   office is ultimately in charge of those assignments. Traditionally, priority   
   is given on the basis of seat count — that means the Liberals get first pick   
   of offices this time,    
   followed by the Conservatives, then the Bloc.   
      
   Wilson-Raybould, an Independent MP who resigned from cabinet over the   
   SNC-Lavalin affair, has been refusing to move out of the entire office space   
   assigned to her in 2018, when she was a cabinet minister. The move was due to   
   Centre Block closing down for    
   renovations.   
      
   She currently occupies a series of six offices equipped with a private   
   bathroom on the fourth floor of the Confederation Building in the   
   Parliamentary precinct. It's classified as a ministerial suite, but   
   Wilson-Raybould said Thursday she disagrees with    
   that description because it's two adjacent MP offices without a connecting   
   door. She said she has volunteered to give up one of the spaces as long as she   
   can keep the other.   
      
   "I'm not trying to prevent somebody from having been out in the cold without   
   an office. I'm just trying to find a reasonable solution," she told CBC News   
   in an earlier interview, adding that she considers the situation to be "petty."   
      
   In an email sent to CBC News today, Wilson-Raybould said that she was given a   
   list of alternative office spaces on Thursday and is considering her options.   
      
   Wilson-Raybould invited Algonquin Elder Claudette Commanda to bless the   
   offices after her swearing-in following the October election. She said she had   
   no "formal notice" at that point that she was required to move out, adding   
   that she got the notice on    
   Dec. 5.   
      
      
   * Wilson-Raybould's behaviour 'speaks for itself,' says Joly *   
      
   The minister looking to move into the suite is Northern Affairs Minister Dan   
   Vandal, a Métis MP from Manitoba. He said he's not involved in the dispute.   
      
   "I'm just waiting for an office. We're hiring staff, we need an office. We   
   have work to do," he said. "I'm really looking forward to getting going on   
   that. So I'm just waiting for an office."   
      
   Economic Development Minister Mélanie Joly, however, had more pointed   
   comments to make.   
      
   "I think there is a clear protocol and I think her behaviour speaks for   
   itself. That's it. It's sad that we're there. We don't need to be," she said.   
      
   While Wilson-Raybould said she would like to stay where she is, Rota said it's   
   not up to her.   
      
   "There's a minister who wants to go in there and that minister has the right   
   to go in because it's been chosen as his office," he said. "As an Independent,   
   unfortunately, [Wilson-Raybould] is at the bottom of the list or near the   
   bottom of the list."   
      
      
   Rota: Non-partisanship is an 'attractive' part of being Speaker   
      
   The situation could be Rota's first test as Speaker. He was elected to the   
   post by his peers through a secret ballot process on Dec. 5.
