Thanks, Chair.
Thank you, Commissioner and Ms. Robinson-Dalpé, for joining us again. I appreciate the opportunity to ask questions and get more information on behalf of Canadians.
Commissioner, perhaps in your reading of the news over the last year prior to your accepting this appointment, or since your having assumed the office, you're familiar with the Prime Minister having spent New Year's at the Prospect Estate in Jamaica. This is owned by Peter Green's family. Mr. Green is the godson to the late Pierre Trudeau, father of the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Mr. Green's son, Alexander, in turn recently made a large donation to the family foundation that of course shares the Prime Minister's name, in which he is involved.
The cost to Canadians was $160,000. They don't know if they paid for the $9,000-per-night fee that the Prime Minister would have incurred were he not there at the invitation of the donor to the Trudeau Foundation.
In relation to this trip, what we're looking to find out is who approved the trip from the Ethics Commissioner's office and on what date that approval was given to the Prime Minister or to his office.
