Alberta premier's office spent same amount as Alison Redford's staff
Premier Rachel Notley's office spent nearly $340,000 last year, an amount that matches the spending under former Premier Alison Redford.
According to documents posted online, Notley and her staff spent $339,348.64 in the 2015-16 fiscal year.
Redford spent $340,555.67 and $323,243.21 in her last two years in office.
The documents break down spending for Notley and staff in the premier's office into three categories: meals, accommodations, and travel; hospitality and working sessions; and goods, supplies and services and other expenses.
Notley's communications director, Cheryl Oates, said the expenses are related to the change of government, including new phones, computers, and office supplies.
Included in that total is the $87,883.38 cost of moving new staff to Alberta.
"We expect next year's expenses to be lower," Oates said in an email to CBC News.
"We are very conscious of every dollar our government is spending and have taken measures to cut back on expenses, including mandating that cabinet ministers fly economy class."
