Charity travel costs tied to Duffy case scrutinized
The trial examined public funds used for Sen. Mike Duffy’s travel to Vancouver Island and Yukon charity events. Costs included a 10 652 flight to Vancouver Island and 8 567 for event-related expenses, while a Yukon fundraiser raised 3 000 for the Whitehorse food bank. The Crown argues the trips were personal and partisan rather than Senate business.
