Canadian MPs Cut U.S. Trips Amid Trade Deal Scramble

Canadian MPs Cut U.S. Trips Amid Trade Deal Scramble

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

Canadian MPs and senators face significant budget cuts for U.S. trips, with funding for parliamentary groups tied to the Commonwealth and NATO also affected. Rising costs from memberships and conferences, along with a potential forty percent drop in funding for the Canada-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group, have led to reduced travel. The Joint Interparliamentary Council, composed of MPs and senators, recently discussed budgets in a closed-door meeting, with proposals to allow lawmakers to use personal travel budgets for U.S. trips to maintain these important connections.
