This is the best summary I could come up with:
The cost to Canadians of protecting the prime minister and his family shot up over the last two fiscal years to its highest level in two decades, an analysis by CBC News reveals.
The analysis by CBC News, based on figures tabled in Parliament or released through access to information to Thompson Rivers University assistant professor Matt Malone, only includes the cost of RCMP protection.
His family's Easter weekend trip to Big Sky, Montana this year cost more than $228,000; nearly $205,000 of that sum paid for the RCMP officers who accompanied them.
Canada's current tense relationships with India and China could also be factors in the RCMP's assessment of threats against the prime minister, Bourduas added.
"I think with more and more global threats, we're seeing the conflict in the Middle East, we're seeing more friction among states, inflation, climate change, we're seeing more stressors that are happening on a macro level and I think impacting communities, individuals," he said.
Malone said he filed access requests for the cost figures and shared them with CBC News because he fears political violence is becoming more of a threat in Canada.
