Former ambassador repays Crown corporation for moving her artwork
Isabelle Hudon, then the ambassador to France, speaks to reporters during the G7 summit in Biarritz, France on Saturday, Aug 24, 2019.
In an email, BDC spokesperson Phil Taylor said there "is no connection" between Hudon reimbursing the moving costs and Radio-Canada's request.The BDC said Hudon paid BDC back because the artwork has since been sent for repairs and will not be returned to BDC's headquarters. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is greeted by Isabelle Hudon, then the Canadian ambassador to France, upon his arrival at the airport in Biarritz, France on Aug. 23, 2019.
In an internal email obtained by Radio-Canada, Dorais said it was an unusual task that took up "quite a lot of time." On the morning of September 14, Dorais himself went to Hudon's residence to greet the movers, who specialize in transporting works of art.But once the piece arrived, another snag appeared: Dorais discovered it was too big to fit in Hudon's offices.
In June 2022, BDC hired a second moving company to bring the work from the ground floor of its headquarters to Hudon's offices.The $430 bill for that move, just like the first $620 bill in September 2021, was paid initially by the BDC before Hudon reimbursed the Crown corporation last month.
