Newly released government documents show flying Canada’s health minister home during the pandemic lockdown when Canadians were told to stay home set taxpayers back more than $100,000. The flight details show Hajdu and her health ministry were billed for 22.5 hours of flight time. Based on those figures, and cost estimates that are almost a decade old, Hajdu’s flight time would have cost taxpayers $45,000 but likely much more given inflation.
