Global Affairs Canada signed 11 sole-sourced contracts worth $1,382,640.67 for hotels and ground transportation during Prime Minister Mark Carney's trip to France, Ireland and the G7 summit in June 2026, according to the federal government's proactive disclosure database of contracts over $10,000.

The biggest single bill was in Ireland. Optimum Chauffeur Limited of Dublin was paid $284,788.69 for "Transportation Services for the PM in DUBLIN and MAYO" over the week of June 8 to 15.

In Paris, the five-star L'Hotel du Collectionneur near the Arc de Triomphe billed $190,341.66 for "Accomodation Services PM visit Paris", on a contract running June 4 to 14, well beyond the Prime Minister's two days in the city. CC Transport received two contracts worth $241,373.89 for transport in Paris and for the G7. For the summit in Evian, the Novotel Geneve Centre across the Swiss border was paid $212,143.44 and B Network, a French events firm, $243,045.96 for the "Official visit of canadian deletation for the G7 Summit 2026". Paris and the G7 together come to $886,904.95. Every one of the 11 contracts is marked non-competitive, with one bid received.

The Prime Minister's Office announced the trip on June 7: bilateral visits to Paris and Dublin, a stop in County Mayo to meet Irish President Catherine Connolly, and the G7 Leaders' Summit in Evian, from June 11 to 17. Carney visited his family's ancestral village of Aghagower in Mayo and attended mass there, Global News reported.

In January, Global Affairs Canada told Parliament it would not say which hotels Carney had stayed in because doing so "could jeopardize security", as Rebel News reported at the time. Nine months later, the department's own disclosure database names every hotel and the price.

The figures are contract values at award and do not include flights, security, meals or per diems. The records do not say how many rooms or travellers each contract covered.

The hotels Ottawa would not name for security reasons are now listed, with prices, on a government website.
