Using two airplanes to conduct an election campaign is something that had never been seen before. That isn't an anecdote, it's a fact. I don't know how you could have tolerated that, particularly since it was your first election campaign.
I'm going to move on to another subject now: COP27. There were Canadians who took part in it. According to the lists we have, Canadian taxpayers paid over $1 million for hotel room accommodation for 113 participants. There were rooms at $1,500 or $1,545 a night.
Did you really need 113 participants, Minister, when everyone has the ability to participate online? How did you manage to have such a large delegation for 12 days? I understand it was a bit unique, doing it in Egypt, but did you really need 113 people? Would there not have been some way to save some money on that point?
What was the environmental footprint of these 113 people whose stay cost taxpayers $1 million?
