Hi John,

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is about to take a $10,000 pay raise.

If you don’t think Trudeau deserves a $10,000 raise, then you can sign the PETITION to stop the politician pay hike: [link removed] ([link removed])

On April 1, members of Parliament will take their fourth pay raise since the onset of COVID-19. This year’s pay raise will range from an extra $5,100 for a backbench MP to an extra $10,200 for Trudeau.

A backbencher currently collects a $189,500 salary. Ministers take home $279,900. Trudeau gets $379,000 from taxpayers. Do you think they should take thousands more from taxpayers when many Canadians are struggling to fill the fridge?

But even this downplays the pay raises politicians took since the beginning of the pandemic.

As of April 1, MPs will receive an annual salary that’s more than $15,000 higher than they did pre-pandemic, while the prime minister will take home an extra $30,000.

MPs give themselves an automatic pay raise every year. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The federal government stopped the automatic pay raises between 2010 and 2013 in response to the 2008-09 recession.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston recently recalled the provincial legislature to stop an automatic pay raise for his MLAs. Then Houston cut his own pay by $11,000. British Columbia MLAs also stopped their automatic pay increase. MPs need to do the right thing and stop their pay hike too.

It gets worse. On the same day MPs take their pay raise, they will also be increasing carbon and alcohol taxes. They are taking more money out of your wallet and stuffing more into their own.

You still have time to stop the MP pay raise. But you must act now.

Here’s the first step: Stand with tens of thousands of other Canadians and add your name to the online PETITION opposing the politician pay hike: [link removed] ([link removed])

Thanks for fighting for taxpayers – it’s making a difference!

Sincerely,
* Franco, Shannon, Jay and the rest of the CTF.
