Hi John,

This is your chance to speak up about the Governor General’s taxpayer-funded luxury perks.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government just voted to keep every last cent of benefits for the Governor General.

Here’s what happened. Parliament held a vote to approve $22 million in operating funds for the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General for the rest of the fiscal year.

Bloc MP Christine Normandin formally submitted a motion of dissent, but she and her Bloc colleagues were the only ones to oppose the spending.

That funding covers a Rideau Hall package loaded with luxury: a salary over $350,000, $150,000 as an annual pension, and a $200,000-a-year for life expense account for former Governors General.

It also includes a mansion, full-time staff, international travel, and even a clothing allowance. All paid by taxpayers.

Carney rubber stamped the spending and the House of Commons went along with it.

But there’s someone we really want to hear from: YOU.
Question: Should the government cut the Governor General's perks?
