OTTAWA – Outgoing CBC President Catherine Tait spent $6,000 — including staying at a $1,000-per-night hotel — for just under five days at the Paris Olympics, an expense observers say is sure to raise eyebrows but is ultimately justifiable.
According to a copy of Tait’s calendar obtained via an access-to-information request, Tait was in Paris from July 25 to 29. She arrived the day before the opening ceremony of the Paris Summer Olympic Games.
She had no reason to be there. It’s not as if she was running around with a Go-Pro live streaming the events back home.
