Mr. Speaker, the Minister of International Trade was in Manila on November 19.
She had her seat reserved on the government Challenger to make her way back home, but instead she booked herself through LA and charged the taxpayers nearly $20,000 for a trip to Hollywood. The reason: a vanity interview. While the interview with Bill Maher was painful to watch, it turns out it was just as painful for Canadian taxpayers.
Why have Canadian taxpayers been stuck with the bill for her California dream?
