There is another reason other than conflict of interest that a minister of the crown should not be riding around in non-commerical chartered or private aircraft and that is one of safety.   Did Trudeau's team vet the helicopter pilot's training, ensure he was drug and alcohol-free, fit to fly, and ask to see the helicopter maintenance log?  Was the fuel quality checked prior to getting on that private helicopter?  I doubt it and they likely just climbed into that aircraft without any vetting.

Just look at what happened with Jim Prentince when he hired a private aircraft with only one pilot who likely had a medical incident.  Most travel insurance companies will not insure any accidents that occur while traveling in non-commerical aircraft and that is for good reason,.....actuarial data that shows these aircraft have much higher accident rate ands even higher for helicopters.

It is pretty clear this PM and his advisors are not operating with a full deck.
