At the time, the premier said the plane was sold back for the exact same price, promising to publicly release financial documentation on the transactions.

The documents released late Wednesday afternoon show the province incurred nearly $200,000 before taxes in aviation-related costs outside of the purchase and sale.

These include expenses of nearly $140,000 in aircraft management services such as maintenance, storage and servicing, as well as nearly $34,000 in outside legal counsel.

    Chump change compared to the generational damage Mike Harris II is doing to our province. Actually believable as a distraction tactic.

    Things like this bug me. That's the property tax for 20 people. That's a month's rent for 200 people. That's a yearly wage for 5 people in Ontario.

    Imagine if the individuals that put pen to paper and have their names attached on the initiation of this purchase had to face the financial repercussions - or any repercussions at all - to also undo it. Boy, that'd be something. Accountability. What a wild foreign concept.
