Rideau Hall has issued a statement saying Gov. Gen. Mary Simon “shares the public’s concern” about a $93,000 catering bill racked up by her delegation on a government plane during a work trip to the Middle East.

Rideau Hall spokesperson Natalie Babin Dufresne said in a statement shared with CBC News on June 16 that the Canadian Armed Forces arrange Simon’s trips abroad and are “responsible for all decisions relating to catering on these flights.”
