The Quebec government has tabled a bill that would see members of the National Assembly receive a $30,000 salary hike.
If Bill 24 is passed, MNAs would see their base salary jump from $101,561 to $131,766.
“It’s a catch-up that was due,” Premier François Legault said before question period Thursday.
The base salary of MNAs has not been revised since 2000, although it has been indexed for inflation.
If approved, Bill 24 would make Quebec elected officials the best-paid provincial politicians in Canada. Alberta legislature members currently have the highest base salary among their provincial peers — $120,936 a year.
