“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to come clean and tell taxpayers who stayed in the River Suite. You don’t get to be prime minister and hide how you spend our tax dollars”

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is launching a legal challenge with the Office of the Information Commissioner to force the government to disclose who stayed in the $6,000-per-night luxury hotel suite during Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral.
The CTF filed an access-to-information request for documents showing who stayed in the room. But the government redacted the name of the individual in question, citing security concerns and a clause in the Access to Information Act that prohibits the release of personal information.
“As a matter of principle, the government owes taxpayers transparency,” said Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF. “Taxpayers paid the bills, and we deserve to know who wasted our money staying in the $6,000-per-night hotel room.”
