The government of Ontario has sold a pre-owned Challenger 650 less than a week after acquiring the aircraft for CAD28.9 million Canadian dollars (USD21.2 million), premier Doug Ford has said. “We gave the jet back to Bombardier Business Aircraft at the exact same price, no one lost anything,” the premier revealed. The aircraft, intended primarily for Ford's executive travel, sparked controversy over provincial taxpayer spending and suitability for the role.

The premier has insisted that documents confirming the transaction incurred no cost to provincial taxpayers will be released, although he has not specified a date.
