MLA compensation will be reviewed.
A two-person committee will now be responsible to review and make recommendations on the salaries and benefits of MLA’s under the Legislative Assembly Act.
The committee will also review the additional indemnities for parliamentary office holders, and the salaries and benefits of MLA’s who have responsibilities under the Executive Council Act.
As well, the committee will also take a look at the basis of future compensation adjustments, annual constituency office allowance of each MLA to cover rent, the salary of an assistant and office expenses.
A previous review of MLA salaries and benefits took place in 2007 when it was recommended that all MLA’s receive a base annual salary of $85,000.
To help with the process, the committee will seek public input.
