I know we hate these guys, but it doesn't seem like a big deal. It's really not hard to spend a lot when you're traveling, and traveling for work doesn't make that cheaper.

Considering he should be spending $0 of our dollars on this, that is a significant expense for zero (or even negative) value to the people of Alberta. The conflict of interest makes it significantly worse, he should be removed from office for that.
It is really no different than other UCPers who have personally benefited from their decisions in office. Like Shandro when he was head of health made decisions that made things worse for Albertans and directly benefited his wife's health insurance company.
Those grifts are actions that should put a politician in jail.
