The leader of the Bloc Quebecois has repeatedly pushed for the end of the King\u0027s representative in Canada over several spending scandals.
While many of the items were worn for specific ceremonies connected to the Governor General’s role, many others appear to be regular, day-to-day attire such as dress pants, sweaters, shirts and T-shirts.
In the House of Commons, Bloc MP Julie Vignola questioned why taxpayers were paying for the clothing for a person who makes over $343,000 per year.Article content Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez responded, “We know that many Canadians are struggling to make ends meet, and people expect that we manage their money , and that includes MPs, senators, the government and the Governor General.”
But Blanchet took offence to even that allowance, saying that it was not up to taxpayers to be funding a governor general’s clothing.
