If anything I'd say that comparing it to Harper spending $0 to go to Russia concerns me. Its expensive to get to Russia. Did he not expense it? Was the accounting poorly done? Did he pay for it himself? That might be personal prerogative.
But I would imagine that a politician would expense a trip to Russia when he goes on Government business.
Why wouldnt it have been disclosed? Its not like he was renting the Czar's summer palace or anything.

Yeah, it is weird that there is a bunch of "not reported" in Harper's numbers. Also, the end of the article says Trudeaus trip was for TO and Quebec City.
Speculation is that the difference may be due to Trudeau bringing his family along on everything. Which is ridiculous. Your wife? Maybe. There's no need to drag your whole family around on your PM trips. Especially with all that child care $$.
