Calgary councillors could soon have more latitude for claiming meal and hosting expenses when travelling on city-related business.

A city committee endorsed a new set of rules Wednesday that removes the current $ 100 per diem.

Administration’s new recommended rules wouldn’t impose a daily limit, instead suggesting councillors cap their meal-hosting expense claims at $ 25 per person for breakfasts, $ 30 per meal and $ 45 per dinner.

Committee chair Andre Chabot said the new rules would give councillors more latitude and flexibility.
