This is your chance to speak up about the Governor General’s taxpayer-funded luxury perks.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government just voted to keep every last cent of benefits for the Governor General.

Here’s what happened. Parliament held a vote to approve $22 million in operating funds for the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General for the rest of the fiscal year.

Bloc MP Christine Normandin formally submitted a motion of dissent, but she and her Bloc colleagues were the only ones to oppose the spending.

That funding covers a Rideau Hall package loaded with luxury: a salary over $350,000, $150,000 as an annual pension, and a $200,000-a-year for life expense account for former Governors General.

It also includes a mansion, full-time staff, international travel, and even a clothing allowance. All paid by taxpayers.

Carney rubber stamped the spending and the House of Commons went along with it.

But there’s someone we really want to hear from: YOU.

Question: Should the government cut the Governor General's perks?
YES NO

Thanks for taking a moment to make your voice heard – it helps us hold Ottawa accountable.

Sincerely,

P.S.: If you’re all in on fighting taxes, you might like setting up monthly donations to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Automatically chipping in means that every time you open an email about a hot new campaign, you don’t need to find your credit card – you’re already in the fight. And you’ll get perks like The Taxpayer Magazine and insider emails from CTF President Scott Hennig. It’s easy to set up on our secure site: taxpayer.us1.list-manage.com
