Protecting Harper costs $47M

"The RCMP can not provide a specific breakdown of the costs related to the protection ..."


I fully appreciate the importance of the security operation however the cynic in me would like to know how much overtime (double, 2.5x & triple, bonuses??) the cops are racking up. Burying wages and salaries in the 'security operation' is a pretty convenient excuse for hiding this from taxpayers.
