Jonathan Rowe Conservative
“The Liberals spent over $175,000 on airplane food, costing taxpayers $300 a meal for each person. Ordinary Canadians cannot afford that kind of money for a meal.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have heard this all before. This is not the first time that the Liberals wasted over $175,000 and gave the same shameful excuse for inflight catering. The reality is this trip cost hard-working taxpayers $300 for each meal for each person. Does the silver spoon, Bay Street banker Prime Minister really think that Canadians have the luxury of spending $300 on a meal? Quite frankly, I have had no one in my family ever be able to dream of paying $300 for a meal.”
