Brampton PC MPP Hardeep Grewal billed taxpayers nearly $20,000 for Toronto hotels
Grewal's constituency office is approximately 43 kilometres from Queen's Park.
Ontario PC MPP Hardeep Grewal charged taxpayers nearly $20,000 for hotel stays in downtown Toronto despite representing a Brampton riding less than 50 kilometres from Queen's Park.
Grewal, the MPP for Brampton East and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Transportation, submitted $19,827.73 in hotel expense claims between 2023 and 2026 under the legislature's "special circumstances" accommodation policy.
The policy is intended for exceptional situations, such as severe weather or other emergencies that prevent an MPP from returning home. However, a review of expense records by Global News found most of the claims occurred during the spring and fall legislative sessions, suggesting the hotel stays had become routine rather than exceptional.
Grewal's constituency office is approximately 43 kilometres from Queen's Park.
Premier Doug Ford's office has since said that any hotel expenses that did not meet the intent of the rules will be repaid to taxpayers.
