Governor general spent $3 million in travel during first full year in office

Transportation costs for the Governor General during her first full year in office cost nearly $3 million.

Data from government documents put the cost of flying Governor General Mary Simon to four overseas engagements and 17 domestic trips across Canada last year at $2.78 million, spread across a number of government departments and ministries.

That number may still climb, as receipts from 2022 are still being tallied.
