      The salary increases are tied to private sector rates. This is grand-standing. Just donate the raise if you don’t like it, likely others do.

      Empty virtue signaling.

        How about he do his job and introduce legislation to break up some monopolies, instead. Maybe tax some oligarchs, close some loopholes?

      MPs and elected officials should be well paid enough that someone can take the risk of running. If they aren’t well compensated, only the well to do would be able to run.

      At first glance it feels nice that someone should refuse a pay raise, but as others said, it’s pure virtue signaling, and doesn’t actually lead to the preferable outcome of „the best possible candidate.“

      Hey good on him. Silly to heckle.

      The House should freeze all MP salaries given the chaotic state of our country’s finances.

      I like this energy out of elected representatives as I firmly believe a politician shouldn’t be in it for the money. With an MP’s average salary over $200k per year that’s already nearly triple the median Canadian income.

      To continue raising their pay simply puts them further out of touch with the folks they are there to represent.

      I know people will say politicians make to much blah blah but I support their wages. They work long hours and the abuse they take etc plus I think promoting people to make more at all levels of the socioeconomic ladder is important. Many times they take freezes for years to then get a big jump then looks bad than just giving annual increases.

      $10,000 per year is a 5.26 percent salary increase in a single year. Way more than federal government workers received in any one year during the last round of (highly contentious) collective agreement negotiations. What’s good for the goose isn’t good for the gander it seems.
