submitted by Calgary Nose Hill MP Michelle Rempel Garner revealed Tuesday the federal government spent more than $6 million at the Westin in Calgary in 2022, with the hotel hosting 15 people who were quarantining.

Glad they were ready to help.

NOW lets be sensible, when the government booked these hotels they have to book an entire floor and would have to commit to a definite time frame, so is this amount really that high? After all Covid was unheard of 3 years ago.
