Last year’s state funeral for Jack Layton came with a sizable price tag, newly released figures show.
The late NDP leader’s final farewell last summer cost taxpayers $368,326 — more than the total bill for the recent state funerals of two former governors-general.
The Department of Canadian Heritage released the full cost of the funeral to The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act — one week after Canadians gathered to mark the one-year anniversary of Mr. Layton’s death.
