A simple back of the envelope calculation will show the actual costs to the taxpayer of this early move into Stornaway.    

The lack of disclosure of moving costs imply that Rona was renting a furnished apartment.   From Rona's always coiffed hair and background it would be safe to assume that this was towards the luxury end.    Let's be charitable and assume it's a one bedroom (no home office - she would do her MP stuff on the kitchen table) - unrealistic but let's give her a break.   So say that lease costs were $4,000/month in a prime location (less than a short term executive rental).     So that's$8K.    Then there's the cost of Stornaway - staff, and cook for two months.  Again, let's be charitable and round this down to $120K/year for all staff (including cook) so $10K/month.    So that's another $20K.    

So the actual total, with "Conservative" estimates for rent and staffing costs is actually closer to $30K for Rona's move from Ottawa to Ottawa.   Entitled to Entitlements!
