OTTAWA — The prime minister’s trip to a star-studded, two-day summit in New York City cost taxpayers over $61,000 in hotel costs, say newly released documents obtained by the National Post.
Held in New York City on April 27 and 28, the Global Citizen NOW summit was billed as an opportunity to unite celebrities and activists with business and political leaders — all to take “urgent action” to end extreme poverty.
The numbers are contained in a response to an order paper question tabled by Conservative MP Dan Albas.
The prime minister departed Ottawa for New York City on April 26 in an RCAF Challenger business jet joined by 11 passengers who included executive assistant James Armbruster, official photographer Adam Scotti, official videographer Akshay Grover, former PMO adviser Jeremy Broadhurst, chief-of-staff Katie Telford and other staffers.
Fourteen rooms were booked at the Intercontinental New York Barclay Hotel for Canada’s delegation on April 25 at $562.72 per night, according to the documents.
That number grew to 39 rooms on April 26 and 27, reducing to 11 rooms on April 28, the conference’s last day.
