The Prime Minister’s Office says the family is returning to the same place they stayed over the 2019 Christmas holidays and is paying for their own accommodation. The prime minister must fly on a Royal Canadian Air Force plane for security reasons – even for personal travel – and the family’s flights on the last trip to and from Costa Rica cost the government about $57,000, without spending thousands more on the flight crew accommodation in San Jose. The PMO also says it has consulted with the federal ethics commissioner’s office about the upcoming holiday. In 2017, Trudeau was found to have violated conflict of interest rules related to a 2016 vacation he took on the Aga Khan’s private island in the Bahamas. The PMO says Trudeau will have regular updates while he is away. For subscribers: Get exclusive political news and analysis by subscribing to Political information.
