MPs yesterday demanded more details on Gov. Gen. Mary Simon’s in-flight catering fees, which amounted to around $218 per meal for each person present, during her trip to the Middle East in March.
“There were eight meals served and the total cost was $80,367, and if you divide that by 46 people, you get $1,744 per person—or $218 per meal—which includes breakfast,” said Liberal MP Anthony Housefather during a House of Commons government operations and estimates committee meeting.
