POLL: Canadians want Carney to scrap expense account for former governors general

OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to eliminate the taxpayer-funded expense account for former governors general after a new Leger poll found most Canadians support ending the perk.

“Canadians are delivering a clear message with this poll: It’s time to end this taxpayer-funded perk for former governors general,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for up to $200,000 every year in discretionary expenses.”
