NOW PHILPOTT FACES QUESTIONS OVER AIRPORT LOUNGE BILL

The federal Conservatives are raising new questions about Health Minister Jane Philpott’s travel expenses. A receipt obtained by the official Opposition shows she billed taxpayers $520 for a year’s membership to Air Canada’s executive airport lounges in North America and Europe. Conservative health critic Colin Carrie wants Philpott to repay the money, calling it another example of the minister’s lack of judgment. Last week, Philpott said she would pay back $3,700 spent on high-end limousine rentals.
