MPs will see around a $6,700 raise raise from their $203,100 base salary on April 1, with cabinet ministers and the PM seeing bigger bumps
A recent Leger poll, commissioned by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, found that the vast majority of Canadians (79%, or 86% excluding "not sure" responses) oppose the automatic April 1st pay raise for Members of Parliament. The raise will increase MPs' base salary by approximately $6,700, with larger increases for cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister. The CTF argues the raise is inappropriate amidst a cost-of-living crisis and tax hikes.
