Conservative MP Stephanie Kusie on Wednesday tabled a notice of motion, asking a parliamentary committee to request unredacted receipts from the Trudeau government’s trip to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral last September.
Kusie’s motion asks for a person-by-person breakdown of government expenditure, including how much each individual spent on accommodation, travel costs, food, alcohol and drinks.
Kusie asked that the unredacted receipts be produced by March 6th.
The notice of motion comes months after access-to-information requests from the Toronto Sun revealed that government officials rented a $6,000-per-night hotel room in London.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) later filed requests to learn who stayed in the room, but the government sent redacted answers.
On Wednesday, Kusie announced she will soon ask for a detailed list of expenses. The parliamentary Government Operations and Estimates committee will decide at its next meeting whether to approve or deny Kusie’s motion.
The parliamentary committee schedule does not list a date for its next meeting.
