"I expected and always had intended to pay the full cost of these trips, and it was my responsibility to make sure that was done," he continued.
Morneau said that he and his family did a review of their finances, and they had found that he had previously paid $52,000 in expenses towards the trips. Morneau continued to say, though, that to his "surprise," he was unable to locate receipts for the WE trips.
