Mr. Speaker, expenses for our beloved Governor General of Canada's official trip to Germany totalled nearly $700,000.
We are talking $700,000 for a four-day trip when Quebeckers are tightening their belts. Meanwhile, her salary was just increased by $40,000 a year, which is almost as much as the average income in Quebec.
How many more times will $700,000 be thrown out the window before people understand that this expensive and useless position must be abolished?
