Documents show federal government spent more than $6M on Calgary quarantine hotel - Calgary | Globalnews.ca

“It’s not just talking about the payment to the hotel. They’ve also got close to $2 million for security, another, close to $100,000 roughly for transportation and then something like close to, you know, $2.5- $3 million here for something called ‘traveller support services and cleaning services,'” Rempel added.

The quarantine facility opened in June of 2020 and continued to operate until October of last year — months after restrictions were eased.“I think what really punched me in the gut was they spent this money with the option of getting out of the contract,” Rempel Garner said. “This is just something that I think will really hit home with a lot of Canadians of all political stripes – at a time where we’re really struggling to make ends meet and we’re really talking about affordability on lodging, on housing.”Fully vaccinated Canadians, permanent residents, won’t face hotel quarantines come July

On Tuesday during question period in the House of Commons, Rempel Garner demanded answers to the spending to which Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos responded by saying the health and safety of all Canadians has always been the government’s “primary responsibility.” “Our primary responsibility has been and remains to protect the safety and health of Canadians, including tens of thousands of people who had to access the designated quarantine facilities,” Duclos said. “Because of these measures and vaccination, we have saved together tens of thousands of lives and tens of billions of dollars in economic costs.”In comparison, just over $11 million was spent the previous year to house 1,356 travellers at the Westin and $8.

Justin can’t run this country, that’s why so many government people stealing money from government

This is moral signaling. Did you vote from vaccine mandates? Lockdowns and masks? If she did, she’s a hypocrite. And you global are the same. The evidence was clear that all Canada needed was paid sick leave and restructuring of assisted living. You should lose your license.

Meanwhile we have a serious homelessness problem in this country with tent camps on municipal gravel lots & this government thinks nothing of shovelling out $450,000 per person for hotel rooms for a disaster of a quarantine program!

Live like Kings with our money while turning all of us into begging peasants

Public administration is overblown to a uncontrollable level. Minimum 50% of it must be let go and replaced with artificial intelligence-web applications.
