did not know who had made the change. Opposition MPs on the House Foreign Affairs committee requested that the Speaker rule on the possible contempt of parliament against Oda but Prime Minister Harper continued to support Oda. On March 9, 2011, the Speaker of the House made a ruling on the issue of Oda's behaviour, stating that "on its face" Oda's explanation had caused confusion, which still persisted. Oda replied in the House that she was ready to answer to the confusion, at a House of Commons special committee meeting to be held over three full days the following week. Speaker Peter Milliken found on prima facie that the controversy warranted further investigation by a formal parliamentary committee; however, the committee was not able to reach a decision regarding Oda, as the parliamentary session was brought to an end following the non-confidence motion that triggered the 2011 federal election. That election saw Oda retain her seat with 54% of the popular vote.

She was also charged $250 for smoking in a non-smoking room. The costs incurred were at public expense. Only after widespread media reports of this misuse of public money emerged approximately ten months after the conference did Oda repay the difference in hotel costs but not the limousine costs incurred by her decision. The total amount she paid back after she was exposed by the media was $1,353.81. By April 26, it was announced that Oda had repaid the expenses incurred on the taxi rides as well. On April 24, 2012, Oda stood in the House of Commons, in response to a question from interim Liberal leader Bob Rae, and admitted she should never have charged Canadian taxpayers for her stay at the Savoy. She said, "The expenses
