A governor general can expense up to $130,000 in clothing purchases over the five\u002Dyear mandate, with a $60,000 limit the first year
The list of all clothing expensed by either governor general since 2017 is contained in a document tabled in Parliament this week following questions by Conservative MP Kelly McCauley.“I fully accept there are some ceremonial things have to be done and I know GG Simons is buying Inuit-made items and I’m fully on board with that. But $140 for flat shoes, $200 for boots, and T-shirts? I’m sorry, but the average Canadians pay for their own boots when they go to work,” McCauley said.
The allowance used to be $200,000 per mandate until it was lowered in 2021 after a review by the OSGG.For example, since 2009, Nova Scotia’s lieutenant governor is only allowed to expense a maximum of $2,000 for clothing annually, or $10,000 over the five-year mandate. Furthermore, Nova Scotia’s lieutenant governor must pay for half of the clothing bill because they get to keep it.
She also confirmed that they keep the taxpayer-funded items after they leave the job, though Simon, Canada’s first Indigenous governor general, is currently looking for a way to make “key pieces” worn during major events, such as the Papal visit in 2022 and the King’s coronation, available to the public.
