Mr. Speaker, America is well known as the land of the free, not the land of free personal travel for Canadian ministers.
It was $20,000 for an unplanned last-minute sleepover. That is a lot of orange juice.
On Monday, the House leader stood in his place and tried to justify this excess by claiming, “The minister signed important agreements during her visit to California.”
If that is even remotely true, will the trade minister do her job and table those agreements?
