MPPS get a 35% raise and a new pension plan (for what?!)
"Ministers will go from $165,851 to $223,909
Associate ministers will go from $138,928 to $187,561
Parliamentary assistants will go from $133,217 to $179,851"
The pension would be calculated partly based on a three-year best average salary and include contributions from MPPs.
