Royal tour to cost Canadian taxpayers over $500,000...

The newly published travel expenses documents disclosed that the royal travel of Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, which is to be managed by the Department of Canadian Heritage, would cost the taxpayers more than half a million dollar.

The predicted spending contains a $300,000 gift from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, $4,350 on taxis, $130,000 on events in Saskatchewan and $124,000 for the management services.

However, the announced costs did not consider the costs by federal departments and agencies, nor do they take into consideration the security costs, which cost the government about $1 million during the last two royal visits.

Meanwhile, the February 10 2012 spending spreadsheet, issued to Ottawa-based researcher Ken Rubin, predicted that overall costs on the travel of Prince Charles and his wife would be at least $650,000. Full story...
