CTF Calls For Posting Scanned Expense Receipts and Tightened Relocation Reimbursement Guidelines
OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today released an open letter to Treasury Board President Scott Brison calling for the proactive disclosure of scanned expense receipts for Ministers, Members of Parliament, Senators and political staff, as well as tighter guidelines for staff relocation expenses.
"From Jane Philpott's car service to Gerry Butts' relocation expenses, the last few months have not reflected well on the Trudeau government's commitment to prudent use of tax dollars," said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. "And while apologies and repayment are welcome, they are not sufficient. Concrete measures must be put in place to prevent these types of inappropriate expenses from happening again in the future."
