Nice work if you can get it.
Conservative Life has the details on the hotels our hardworking public servants had to stay in.
I can’t imagine what in the world Canadian public servants could find to do in the City of Light given that is the capital of what is essentially a third level diplomatic and military power and a second rate economy. By comparison, the public service spent only 10,000 nights in Washington which, when you think of it is mildly more important in the Canadian scheme of things than France. (And, admittedly, within a day’s comute from Ottawa.)
But, more to the point: we live in an age of instant communication. The internet and all that. Why in God’s name do these folks have to fly around the world in the first place?
