Government Spends Over $160K on Ministerial Retreat About Making Life More Affordable
- The Privy Council Office (PCO) spent $160,467 on the Liberal cabinet's 3-day "affordability retreat" in PEI
- Expenses included $89k for accommodations and $21k for meals and transportation
- Total cost likely much higher as PCO was the only department to disclose expenses so far
- Retreat focused on making life more affordable but produced no new concrete plans
- Spending seen as ironic given retreat's affordability theme amid rising inflation
