As noted previously, Ontario MP Garth Turner heads West next month on his unofficial tour to be the next leader of the Liberal Party.
From today's news release: "All of the events have been organized by local residents, and will take place at no cost to taxpayers."
But from Turner's backgrounder we learn: "Who is paying for this? MP Turner and his wife Dorothy are using flights allocated in his existing office budget."
So who exactly funds Turner's 'office budget'? Taxpayers.
