Obscene !
Senate, do not need these overpriced political votes ! .. Only a few with low to $$0.00 for travel or expenses, the only few to perhaps call, Honorable !
One old dude has over $250k for travel this year alone !
Some do have $0 for travel and $0 for living expenses though.
The Senate is past it's prime in so many ways, if abolished it could easily save Canada $500 million a year at these figures, give that money to Vets and Emergency service workers for pensions and support!
Looking for data on Salaries right now.
Read what this link has to say on the so called Honorable Senator Duffy wages, pension and such..
shocking.. !
or.. Senator Pamela Wallin
