The Aga Khan may have provided Justin, his family, and some of Justin’s close friends with a free holiday, but the trip itself wasn’t exactly free. The added cost of Justin’s jaunt to the Bahamas, in terms of extra RCMP security, Department of National Defence jets, Global Affairs Canada costs, and other expenses: $215,398.
And even then, the initial cost, as tabled in Parliament, was $127,187. It took an Access-to-Information request to reveal that the actual amount was 70 per cent higher than claimed. No wonder the Liberals aren’t fans of Access to Information.
