Nearly 8 out of 10 Canadians against MP pay raise
BRITISH COLUMBIA – The Canadian Taxpayers Federation released results from a Leger poll showing 79 percent of Canadians are against members of Parliament taking their third pay raise during the pandemic on April 1, 2022.
“It’s wrong for politicians to pocket bigger paycheques while the people they represent suffer through a pandemic, pay cuts, job and business losses,” said Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF. “It shouldn’t be rocket science for MPs to do the right thing and stop taking bigger salaries during the pandemic.”
