Saskatchewan's finance minister spent $8,000 to travel about 400km: documents

Minister Donna Harpauer's travel expense form, posted on the Saskatchewan Party government's website, shows she took a chartered plane with Good Spirit Air Service on March 25, travelling 400 kilometres from Regina to North Battleford.A spokesman for Harpauer said she was unavailable for an interview and provided a statement.

The luncheon Harpauer attended was hosted by the North Battleford Chamber of Commerce at Porta Bella Restaurant. “We see people making changes to their summer plans ... because they can't afford gas, and we see one minister with one flight spending enough that someone would make in four months.” Premier Scott Moe, Education Minister Dustin Duncan and Rural Health Minister Everett Hindley also charted a private flight from Good Spirit Air Service from Regina to the province's north on Jan. 10. The trip was for a funding announcement and to visit four communities.

He said driving is the primary mode of in-province travel for ministers, but charter flights are used periodically for longer distances or when it impacts other commitments. Since March, the Saskatchewan NDP have been calling on the government to offer financial relief for residents as they deal with the rising cost of fuel, inflation and taxes.

So what? Driving in Saskatchewan is miles and miles of boring wasted time. Flying is efficient use of tax money.

I did some fact checking and actually the plane was only $2000 the rest was for her booze

I want a God damn raise bitch

She rode a 24k golden horse

She’s just taking a page from Trudeau’s play book!

Oops

Well gas is expensive 😂

well spent tax dollar's

These government humps just don’t get it! It’s not a personal cash register.

Oink Oink. Politicians don't care. Taxpayer will pay.

They all have to go. Every last one of them.

Well, by the looks of it…That RIG isn’t walking lol.

I thought conservatives were for the little hard working people of Canada?

By the size of her, that mist have been one hell of a lunch!

Following the trudeau method i see

Toronto News is running a Sasky news story about Saskparty hogs. Amazing

Did she fly private?

Fire her today!! She’s a piece of work. Make her pay it all back!

That us ridiculous. She has a true sense of intitlement, she should be made to pay it back.

And JustinTrudeau flew from one Montreal airport to another. Your point being?

fire hwe asap

She's gotta resign and repay the money.

Pretty hard terrain and roads means more spending.

Lmao how abou4 the 90k one way flight to Dubai the liberals took. Never saw anything one that

And they want more fed money for healthcare.

With today's gas prices I would only need some $50 to drive the same distance

Ballin' with our tax money

Man gas is outta hand

Seems low by government standards

There's a club and we're not in it.

Though the NDP spent more on airline in previous years. Not impressed being a conservative myself. Deriving would have been more appropriate. This isn’t a remote community. Also on the airline who knew when to gouge.

Easy when it’s not yours

I thought conservatives were prudent with finances...maybe she's a liberal in disguise

Inflation, dawg

A financially prudent move

Small potatoes.

Lmao.
