- A Travel Alberta executive spent nearly $9,000 for a three-day trip to Singapore and dropped more than $800 on a dinner at a swank restaurant that was on his “bucket list,” "
-Travel Alberta CEO Bruce Okabe flew to Singapore solely to negotiate a contract with Sandip Lalli, whom he hired as chief financial officer and vice-president of operations.
- the CEO of Travel Alberta, who makes $240,000 in salary plus $150,000 in benefits, saw fit to bill taxpayers for a $150 tuxedo rental as a hospitality expense,” |
Did they really have to go all the way to Singapore to find someone suitable for this Alberta government position? Or was going to Singapore on Bruce Okabe's bucket list too?
There wasn't a single Canadian citizen qualified? I'm assuming that Sandip Lalli isn't Canadian.. but maybe I'm wrong.
