Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will head to British Columbia on Sunday, where he will be on vacation with his family until Aug. 1.
A government official says the Prime Minister's Office is not disclosing the specific location for security reasons.
Spokesman Mohammad Hussain says in an email that Trudeau travels on government aircraft as required, and will reimburse the equivalent of a commercial airline ticket for himself and his family.
Hussain says Trudeau will also pay for his family's stay.
The PMO has consulted with the Ethics Commissioner's office about the trip.
Trudeau and his family vacationed in B.C. last summer and in Costa Rica in the summer of 2022.
Trudeau was found to have violated conflict-of-interest rules in 2016 when he took a vacation to the Aga Khan's private island in the Bahamas, and his office has said he consults the ethics commissioner ahead of personal travel plans to ensure they comply with guidelines.
