Fildebrandt says nothing wrong with renting subsidized apartment
A finance critic for Alberta’s new United Conservative Party says there is nothing wrong with using his taxpayer-funded housing allowance to make money.
Derek Fildebrandt says he has been renting his subsidized Edmonton apartment through Airbnb when he isn’t using it.
Fildebrandt says renting out an unused residence is reasonable and part of the modern sharing economy.
But he says he would be happy to donate what he has collected in rent so far to help pay down Alberta’s debt.
