I don’t mind paying MPs/MLAs well. For one thing, they are nowhere near the top 0.01% in terms of income (they aren’t even in the top 1%) and the position’s salary should not be a deterrent to qualified candidates. Taken in the context of overall government spending, their salaries are minuscule. I’d gladly pay them all a million dollars a year if they actually did a good job.
That must be why Quebec MPs voted themselves a 30% increase…
MNAs, not MPs.
