OTTAWA, ON: Governor General Louise Arbour is right to acknowledge the previous clothing allowance was unacceptable and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling for real cuts to Rideau Hall’s platinum pay and perks.
“Taxpayers are glad to see the new Governor General won’t be wasting as much money on clothes,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “But small tweaks to the governor general’s wardrobe budget barely scratches the surface and taxpayers need the government to drastically shrink the platinum pay and perks at Rideau Hall.”
