CALGARY, AB: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is slamming members of Parliament for failing to stop their April 1 pay raise during the COVID-19 downturn.
“Our MPs should know that a pandemic and severe economic downturn is the worst possible time to be padding their pockets with a pay hike,” said Franco Terrazzano, the CTF’s Alberta Director. “Millions of Canadians have been struggling with COVID-19 for more than a year now, so it’s long past time for our MPs to get off their butts and put an end to their automatic pay increases.”
