Michelle Rempel, MP Verified account @MichelleRempel I'm from Winnipeg and didn't even know it even was possible to take a $500 limo ride there. But hey, Liberals.
Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr took energy ministers from the U.S. and Mexico to a Winnipeg Jets hockey game and dinged taxpayers for the bill to the tune of $1,784, government records show.
The seven NHL tickets for the Feb. 11 game against the Boston Bruins cost $1,258.25, and Carr charged taxpayers another $525.30 to rent limos for the one-kilometre journey from the Fort Garry Hotel to Winnipeg’s MTS Centre arena.
The approval request form, released as part of an access to information request submitted by Conservative MP Candice Bergen, describes the function as a ‘sport event for the US-Canada-Mexico trilateral meeting of energy ministers and ambassadors.’
However, the section of the form used to describe why the event would provide ‘value for money’ for the Department of Natural Resources was left blank.
