Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have used it only half the time but they have not been there for a quarter of the time that we were in office.
It gets worse. After his meeting the next day the minister took another flying limousine back to Washington even though there are at least four direct non-stop flights from Ottawa to Washington every day. On top of this, his expense report does not list his use of the government jet. Staffers take unaccompanied joy-rides to Washington. Conservatives get freebie flights to cocktail parties and subsidized trips to hockey games.
When will the government and the minister start following the rules and list the full cost of these joy-rides and which department pays?
