Cow, reading it exactly as written.

Receipts of the week.

National Defence reported nine hundred sixty-two thousand, six hundred thirty-three dollars and twenty-four cents for catering on the Prime Minister's flights. Fourteen trips.

Now, to be fair, that's the whole plane: the whole delegation, security and the travelling media. The media pay part of it back. How much? Unknown.

Back in 2012, a minister had to pay back a sixteen-dollar orange juice from a hotel stay.

Different bill, different year. Not the same thing. But somebody has to read the receipt.
