An investigation by Global News has determined taxpayers paid more than $125,000 over the past four years, flying her husband across the country, as her "designated traveller" under federal expense rules.
That's the third highest amount in the country, behind two Conservative MP's from remote ridings, and it dwarfs similar spousal claims by her former Cabinet colleagues from BC.
Earlier, I spoke with Amanda Connolly, Global News Legislative Reporter. Here’s our conversation.
