Governor General, guests rack up $100K in-flight catering bill during Dubai trip

OTTAWA — Canada’s vice-regal racked up a nearly $100,000 catering bill on board a government aircraft during a recent week-long trip to the Middle East.

An order paper question submitted by Conservative MP Michael Barrett shows Gov. Gen. Mary Simon and her 29 fellow passengers using $93,117.89 in catering services aboard an RCAF CC-150 Polaris during her March 16 to March 24 trip to Expo 2020 in Dubai.

Can anyone explain why this token figurehead needs to meet with anyone abroad? Did they find potential mass graves in Dubai?
