The Saskatchewan government has publicly posted the summer travel expenses of all cabinet ministers and staff, CTV Regina reports.
The priciest trip was by Economy Minister Bill Boyd, who spent three weeks in China for more than $44,000 while attending a conference on carbon capture technology, and meeting with business leaders.
Premier Brad Wall's five days in Charlottetown meeting with other premiers cost more than $20,000.
Former Education minister Russ Marchuk's four-day trip to Charlottetown cost taxpayers nearly $8,000.
The premier says he has reviewed his cabinet's travel expenses, noting they are about half of what the previous NDP administration spent.
Travel expenses became a hot topic for the government this past spring, when questions were raised about $3,600 spent by Social Services Minister June Draude on a car service during a trip to London.
