G&M: The Trudeau government’s trip to this year’s exclusive gathering of global elites in Davos cost taxpayers almost $700,000.00, with tens of thousands of dollars for pricey accommodations in the swanky Swiss resort, newly released documents show.
Not all amounts associated with the trip have been publicly reported yet.
Opposition MPs questioned whether the trip produced tangible results for Canadian taxpayers who are worried about their pensions, student debt or dental care.
“Davos is such a symbol of the superpowerful hanging with the super powerful, to no discernible benefit to ordinary people,” NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus said. “So spending that much money is really not justifiable.”
