PMs riding cashing in on retreat in Shawinigan
Prime Minister Jean Chretien will host his entire 155 member caucus in Shawinigan Quebec for an annual summer retreat. The trip will cost taxpayers at least 36000 in hotel bills plus potential spouses staff and other attendees. The Saint Maurice riding gains added attention and has already attracted about 5 million in federal funds for a tourism museum and 3.8 million for new hotels since Chretien became leader. The choice of Shawinigan provokes eyebrows among Atlantic Liberal MPs who expected the session elsewhere.
