FORMER HARPER AIDE SHOULD REPAY MOVING EXPENSES, TROST SAYS

Conservative leadership candidate Brad Trost

wants a key aide to former prime minister Stephen Harper to repay nearly $79,000 in moving expenses. The Saskatchewan MP says Guy Giorno, pictured, who moved to Ottawa from Toronto in 2008 to serve as chief of staff to Harper for two and a half years, should repay some of the relocation expenses he received at the time so the Conservatives can continue to hold the Liberals to account on this issue. The Liberals came under fire last week when they disclosed that taxpayers shelled out $1.1 million to move about four dozen political staffers to Ottawa after the election last fall. The Liberals then tried to turn the tables on the Conservatives by revealing that Harper’s office paid out almost $325,000 in relocation expenses for 29 staffers over nine years.
