Opposition leaders peppered Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with questions in the House of Commons on April 18 about the cost of his stay several months ago at a luxurious estate in Jamaica owned by donors to the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation, but Trudeau provided no monetary figures in response.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre referenced figures released by cabinet in an Inquiry of Ministry in March that showed the federal government spent over $160,000 on a weeklong trip to Jamaica that Trudeau and his family took over the holiday season from late December 2022 to early January 2023.
