Allard made headlines in 2020 when she went to Hawaii over the holidays despite COVID-19 restrictions advising against non-essential travel.

She was the municipal affairs minister at the time, but later stepped down.

Then Premier Jason Kenny addressed the controversy, calling it poor judgment on Allard’s part.
