Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Begins Whirlwind, Taxpayer-Funded Outreach Tour

The Canadian Press, 12 Jan, 2017 01:00 PM
    BROCKVILLE, Ont. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has spent the morning taking selfies and making small talk on a whirlwind, taxpayer-funded outreach tour.
     
    Trudeau is currently heading down Highway 401 to Kingston, Ont. 
     
    The prime minister has already visited a community restaurant in Ottawa, an aquarium in Brockville, Ont., which features fish native to the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding area, and a highway rest stop.
     
    It's a schedule reminiscent of an election campaign.
     
    Trudeau will hold town hall meetings later today in Kingston and Belleville.
     
    The tour comes as his government attempts to fend off recent controversies including questions around a holiday in the Bahamas with the Aga Khan and cash-for-access fundraisers.
