The Speaker of the Senate, Raymonde Gagné, and her entourage spent nearly $900,000 on international travel in the three years since she was appointed to the role, according to the government’s financial disclosure records reviewed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
“It’s hard to imagine why an unelected senator should be travelling anywhere outside of the country on taxpayers’ dime, so Gagné billing taxpayers almost $1 million to fly around the world is completely unacceptable,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Prime Minister Mark Carney needs to hold Gagné accountable and make sure senators aren’t globetrotting on the taxpayer credit card.”
